Take a Free Salsa Class

Located in Little Havana, Ball & Chain is a pretty iconic nightclub created in the 1930s with great Cuban-style food, drinks, and music!  Every Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday night, you can take part in Little Havana Under The Stars for a free salsa class at 9pm! 

Rent a Yacht With Friends

It seems whenever I’m visiting Miami with a big group of friends we always end up renting a cruiser yacht and enjoying the water out in the beautiful Florida sun! There are plenty of charters that only cost about $650 for a maxim of 12 people. That’s only paying about $55 for a yacht! I highly recommend this to anyone visiting the city with over 5 friends because you can really have a great time with music, drinks, and water activities!

Get a Day Pass at a Miami Hotel 

I call myself the queen of hotel day passes. Generally, I’d rather stay at an affordable hotel for less and still get to experience a luxury one during the day. In Miami there are so many options when it comes to hotel day passes. You can go the ultimate luxury route by booking a cabana at the Four Seasons or go with a more affordable option such as the Shelborne on South Beach for $50 a day. The best way to find what you are looking for is to research your options at resortpass.com

Take a Bike Tour 

Miami has a great vibrant street life. A bike tour is an adventurous and active way to be up close and personal with the city and create stand out memories during your Miami vacation! 

Visit Little Havana 

Miami is over-pouring with Cuban influence! The running joke is that Miami is not a part of Florida and this is because you can often feel like you are in another country when visiting. For instance about 73% of the population in Miami speak Spanish as their first language. 

Little Havana is the best place to really feel like you are in Miami and is a beautiful and vibrant neighborhood that one can explore for free! Calle Ocho, the neighborhood's main street would be the perfect place to start your walking tour and you’ll come across many places to try Cuban coffee at less than $4 a cup.

Wynwood is known as  Miami's art district, and it's renowned for its notorious Wynwood Walls, which is basically an open air road workmanship exhibition hall. Whenever I visit, the wall paintings are different which lets me know they change often and are consistently amazing. It's one of the most beautiful spots on the planet, with road craftsmanship wherever you look!

The Wynwood Walls in Miami is also an ideal spot in the city for travel photography as there's continually something happening there. Just take a moment to search the Wynwood Miami location on Instagram and you’ll see all of the photo inspiration you need!
