What is the best time to be in Miami ?
Much like other southern cities, Miami is hot in the summer. But, with the sprawling Atlantic to cool you down, it's a great time to go. Many families hit Miami Beach during the summer, when the kids are out of school. Another great time to visit Miami is during the winter (October-April), when snowbirds abound. Average temperatures top out in the mid 70s and thus reducing the humidity by half.

What is the best means of transportation in Miami?
You'll need a car to get from one area of Miami to another. It's pretty sprawled out. If you're staying in South Beach, don't worry about a car. You have all the
restaurants,
attractions,
nightlife and daytime activities at your fingertips.
Miami is divided into quadrants: northwest, northeast, southwest, southeast. These meet at Miami Avenue, which separates east from west, and Flagler Street, which separates north from south. Avenues and courts run north-south; streets, terraces, and ways run east-west. Roads run diagonally, northwest-southeast. Don't be afraid to ask for directions.
As for taxis, beware. We don't put it past a Miami cab driver to take advantage of tourists.
How do I get to the town from the airport and explore Miami?
Miami International Airport (MIA) is six miles (ten kilometers) west of the city, with Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport (FLL) about 30 miles (48 kilometers) to the north. Both airports have 24-hour shuttle bus services, taxis, limousine hire and a choice of national and local rental car agencies.
The best way to get around the Miami area is by car and a number of the rental firms offer hourly as well as daily and weekly rates. To avoid getting trapped in traffic congestion in the downtown area there is the 'Metromover'. Part bus, monorail and train, it comprises a couple of computer-controlled carriages that run on an elevated track and offers great views of central Miami.
