Getting there & around
From the airport
Miami International Airport is the main gateway. Take the free MIA Mover to Miami Airport Station, then Metrorail Orange Line to Government Center or Brickell in about 15-25 minutes after boarding; add walking/wait time. Metrobus Route 150 runs from the airport area to Miami Beach/South Beach, often about 35-60 minutes. Taxis or rideshare to Downtown/Brickell are usually 15-30 minutes, longer in traffic; to South Beach often 25-45 minutes. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood is a secondary airport: Brightline or Tri-Rail plus airport shuttle/taxi can reach MiamiCentral/Downtown in roughly 45-90 minutes total.

Around the city
Miami-Dade Transit runs Metrorail, Metrobus and the free Metromover. Metrorail is most useful for MIA, Downtown, Brickell, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables/South Miami and Dadeland; it is less useful for South Beach and Wynwood door-to-door. Metromover is free and handy within Downtown, Brickell and the Arts & Entertainment/Omni area. Use an EASY Card, EASY Ticket, EASY Pay app, or contactless bank card/phone where accepted; standard Metrorail/Metrobus fare is about $2.25. Practical tip: choose hotels near Metrorail/Metromover if staying Downtown or Brickell, and expect to use buses or rideshare for beaches, late nights and cross-bay trips.

Before choosing where to stay
Where to Base
Downtown Miami hosts the largest concentrations of international banks and corporate headquarters, making it ideal for business travelers. The Health District is home to major medical facilities. As the second-most visited metro area in the U.S., staying near the port or financial district maximizes access to both business and leisure amenities.
Getting Around
Miami boasts the third-largest skyline in the U.S. with over 300 high-rises. PortMiami, the world's busiest cruise port, offers unique waterfront access. While the city is sprawling, its strong commercial ties and infrastructure make it accessible via road networks, with many hotels offering convenient parking or ride-share integration for exploring the metropolitan area.
Cultural Context
Known as the 'Capital of Latin America,' Miami has a majority-Hispanic population (70.2%), deeply influencing its culture, arts, and international trade. This unique cross-cultural environment makes it a key node connecting North and Latin American markets, offering travelers an immersive experience in global commerce and heritage.

Dining
L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon Miami
Miami has joined the ranks of Paris and Tokyo with its own on-brand and elegant L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon. The Design District setting bears all the beloved hallmarks with a counter and open kitchen plus rosewood walls and leather chairs.Two tasting menus and an à la carte are available, with Robuchon's classics remaining. The bread basket is a lovely opener, arriving in advance of such thrilling bites as seared scallops in a vibrant cilantro broth with coconut foam and a piece of crispy calamari. Lamb topped with eggplant caponata and served in fairytale eggplant cups is executed perfectly,
WebsiteOgawa
In a nod to the Little River neighborhood that it calls home, Ogawa translates to "small river." The setting is chicly arranged with warm-toned wood and bold artwork. Chef/co-owner Masayuki Komatsu and his team command a presence with an omakase that stuns with a series of enticing cooked dishes and a procession of focused and skillful nigiri.From hay-smoked Spanish mackerel to nanbanzuke featuring madai that’s been fried and marinated in a bracing vinegar sauce, the opening act is proof that this isn’t your typical sushi counter. Seafood imported from Japan is revealed in delightful pieces li
WebsiteShingo
Chef Shingo Akikuni, ever gracious and welcoming, has returned, now back in action behind a spacious, 14-seat counter in Coral Gables. Most premium sushi omakases work with half as many seats, but there’s no cause for concern here: Chef Akikuni and his second-in-command handle the crowd without breaking a sweat and even switch sides midway through the meal. Once the room fills with the sharp smell of vinegar to mix into the sushi rice, it’s off to the races. Fish is sourced almost entirely from Japan, sliced in uniform fashion, and, dressed with little more than a swipe of nikiri. They keep a
WebsiteBoia De
Sandwiched between a laundromat and a medical center in a Buena Vista shopping center, the neon-pink exclamation mark that glows above the front door is impossible to miss. Surprising is certainly an apt descriptor for Chefs Luciana Giangrandi and Alex Meyer’s destination. Servers say the food is Italian, but is it really? The staff is genuinely warm and seem to be having just as much fun as the chefs in this charming, forest-green nook that fills up as soon as the doors open.Start with crispy polenta with marinated eggplant, topped with ricotta salata and fresh basil. Then, move on to their h
WebsiteHiden
True to its name, this favored counter is indeed hidden in the thick of busy Wynwood. The front door is not easy to find and slides open only with a time-sensitive passcode. But beyond the hustle and bustle, Chef Seijun Okano offers a mature, finely tuned omakase for the fortunate few seated at his counter. Fish flown in multiple times a week from Japan are handled with precision, sliced carefully and pressed into lush, vinegar-tinged rice that he makes at the start. Everyone is encouraged to ask questions and drink freely. All the while, the team works in perfect tandem, delivering a well-pac
WebsiteCote Miami
When staring down the long, neon-lit entrance hallway that booms overhead with a subwoofer and ends with a giant mirror, rest assured that this is a serious operation. Owner Simon Kim and his team know what they're doing in this highly stylized Korean steakhouse, which almost feels like a temple to beautifully marbled and aged beef, much of it on display in a nearby room.Just as you would find at the original location in New York City, top-quality ingredients, astutely seasoned dishes and engaging servers make for a seamless experience. First-timers should start with the butcher’s feast, a gen
WebsiteMutra
Israeli Chef Raz Shabtai has brought his take on Middle Eastern cuisine to Miami. Named for his grandmother, this is a place where snagging a seat at the chef's counter is a must. The menu is hyperlocal and rotates often, so don't be surprised when something runs out. Fear not, however, as the excellent staff will help you discover your new favorite. Some notable dishes include a show-stopping plate of beets in a pool of ajo blanco and topped with beetroot sorbet. The signature lamb kebab with smoked aubergine cream and tomato oil is pure comfort, as is chicken a la Tunis, juicy and flavorful
WebsiteLos Félix
Heritage corn sourced from across the Americas and seafood fetched from nearby waters are foundational pillars for this youthful restaurant in Coconut Grove. Such sustainability is a point of pride for Chef Sebastian Vargas, who offers a finely poised expression of Mexican cuisine that leans on subtle flavors and top-notch ingredients. Anyone can throw together a fish taco, but few are willing to source grouper from Key West, grill it in a banana leaf, and pair it with a deceptively addicting hazelnut emulsion. Another recent highlight featured a superb griddled corn cake paired with crab, smo
