On our”Ask a Travel Expert” post, Janae asked:
Q: Hey, travel expert! My two girls and are traveling to Miami, Florida for 6 days; two of them are the days that we will be arriving and leaving Miami…so we actually have 4 days to really do some full day activities. My question is: What non-expensive, 20 year old fun could we have in Miami for our trip? And what’s the best, most reliable ways to get around with or without a car?
Thanx bunches!!!
A: Well, Janae, here are some suggestions for you.
You could always hit the beach! The water may not be quite warm enough to swim in but the beach is ever so relaxing and people watching is an event.

To get around without a car, the bus system is excellent. offers daily passes or it’s just $1 per ride. Pick up a bus map upon your arrival. Or, there’s always the which offers daily rentals at a reasonable price and it’s included with the Go Miami Card.
I hope this helps you have a wonderful time in Miami. Good luck!

Miami Nightclub

As a dancer, my ideal Saturday night (or any other day of the week for that matter) would be spent on the dance floor of a hot club. And what better place to get a dancing fix than in the city best known for its hot and spicy nightlife, matched only by the hot Latin sounds and Cuban inspired fare! If you plan on coming to Miami for a taste of nightlife and unique Latin flavor, be sure to check out these Salsa hot-spots.
Cafe Mystique: The #1 salsa club for more than 15 years, this is the type of club that attracts the city’s best dancers but allows for a comfortable setting to make even salsa novices lose their inhibitions and dance until dawn. You can even take salsa lessons earlier in the evening before the club opens its doors to the habitual crowd.
Hoy Como Ayer: Named best live Latin music in Miami, Hoy Como Ayer offers authentic Latin flavor in its sound, tapas or light appetizers, and local crowd. This is the perfect place to experience authentic Miami heat without the tourism.
Templo Lounge: South Beach’s hip music venue offers a luxurious club, vibrant dance scene, exciting and flavorful cocktails, and a wide variety of music featuring local and international talent. Templo Lounge encompasses the quintessential theatrical flair that seasons South Beach.
Salsa Mia at Yuca Lounge: Learn to salsa dance or perfect your skills while enjoying drinks and appetizers in a lounge that is reminiscent of Havana salsa clubs. Starting at 11pm the Yuca Lounge transforms into a clu, mixing hot Latin beats, offering the perfect opportunity to show off what you have learned. There is a great dance ambiance in that everyone there comes to dance and have a fun time.
The central locations of these clubs will make for a seamless transition from your day-time sightseeing at places such as, the Miami Duck Tour and Bass Museum of Art, to your sizzling nightlife.

The great thing about travel blogs is that they reflect what’s happening now, not six months or a year ago when someone was updating a guidebook. So I was a bit surprised to discover that there aren’t a lot of travel blogs offering in-depth city-specific advice for travel destinations across the United States.
Whether you’re visiting Miami for the first time or if you’re rediscovering this exciting city, I hope that this blog will arm you with advice and tips to make your trip to Miami more convenient and affordable. Check back for updates on restaurants, tours, attractions, and more!
