Best Time to Visit Miami

November to April (dry season). December-March has the best weather (24-28°C) but highest hotel rates. October and November offer warm weather at 30-40% lower prices. June-September is hurricane season — risky but very cheap.

Insider Tips for Miami

✓ South Beach hotels charge resort fees ($30-60/night) on top of room rates — factor this into your budget
✓ Uber or Lyft is essential — Miami's public transport outside of Brickell is limited
✓ Cuban coffee (cortadito) from Versailles or La Carreta is a must — it's a cultural institution, not just caffeine
✓ Art Basel (December) makes hotel prices soar by 200-300% — book 6+ months ahead or avoid the first week of December
✓ Beach access is free everywhere in Miami — you don't need to stay at a beachfront hotel to enjoy the sand
