Miami is a dispersed waterfront destination rather than one compact centre. Downtown and Brickell form the urban core on Biscayne Bay; Miami Beach lies across the causeways, while Wynwood, the Design District, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables and Little Havana are separate districts with distinct identities. Plan by area and avoid assuming that places sharing a Miami address are within an easy walk of one another.

How the city is laid out
Biscayne Bay separates mainland Miami from Miami Beach. Downtown and Brickell sit on the mainland waterfront; Wynwood and the Design District are north, Little Havana is west, and Coconut Grove and Coral Gables are southwest. South Beach occupies the southern end of Miami Beach and is a destination in its own right. Causeways and waterways shape every cross-city journey, so combine attractions on the same side of the bay.

Getting around
Use Metrorail for selected mainland corridors, Metrobus for broader coverage and the free Metromover within Downtown, Omni and Brickell. Miami Beach, the City of Miami and Coral Gables also operate local trolley services. Walking is practical inside individual districts but not between most of them. Check Miami-Dade Transit and municipal service notices before travelling, especially when moving between the mainland and the beach.

Common questions
How many days should I spend in Miami?
A fixed stay length is not recorded. Build the visit around separate district days for Downtown and Brickell, Miami Beach, and the mainland neighbourhoods that interest you.
Are Miami and Miami Beach the same place?
No. Miami is on the mainland and Miami Beach is a separate city across Biscayne Bay. Causeways connect them, but they should be planned as separate areas.
Is the Metromover free?
Yes. Miami-Dade operates Metromover as a free elevated service linking stations in Downtown, Omni and Brickell, with connections to other transit services.
Can I explore Miami entirely on foot?
No. Individual districts can be walkable, but the destination is spread across the mainland, islands and causeways. Use transit or another connection between districts.
Where should I group mainland sightseeing?
Combine Downtown with Brickell, pair Wynwood with the Design District, and treat Little Havana, Coconut Grove and Coral Gables as separate mainland clusters.
