How to spend two days in Miami
Day one: Morning
The best weekend breaks in Miami centre on South Beach, the stamping ground of celebrities and spring-breakers.
Stock up on coffee and pastries at the scrummy and relatively cheap Miami breakfast spot A La Folie (516 Española Way) before strolling down Collins Drive to the shopping district between 6th and 8th street and indulging in a spot of retail therapy.
Afternoon
Bag a table at upscale seafood restaurant A Fish Called Avalon (700 Ocean Drive) for lunch. Once you’ve eaten, it’s time to soak up the sunshine on the glorious expanse of South Beach. Stretching from South Pointe Park Beach all the way to Collins Park, this epic sweep of sand is the highlight of most Miami city breaks.
Evening
Sunset is a jaw-dropping sight. Get the best outlook from cocktail bar and James Beard Award-winning restaurant Juvia (111 Lincoln Road), which sits above a designer parking garage and serves up scrumptious fusion food alongside spellbinding views of the city skyline.
End the evening at iconic South-Beach nightclub Story (136 Collins Avenue), a short taxi ride from Juvia, where international DJs perform to a star-studded crowd.
Day two: Morning
Feeling sprightly? Start the day Miami-style with a sunrise jog along South Beach – you might just pass a few of the native celebs who regularly pound the palm-lined boardwalk.
It’s tempting to hang out on the sand all day, but Miami city centre is calling. Hop on the 103 bus (or catch a cab if you’d prefer) and whizz across the MacArthur Causeway to downtown. Here, stock up on calories with a scrumptious and cheap Miami breakfast at The Daily Creative Food Company (2001 Biscayne Boulevard).
Afternoon
Get a taste of the city’s street culture with a stroll around nearby Wynwood, the city’s most bohemian neighbourhood. With over 70 galleries, dozens of alternative shops and antique stores, a fabulous farmers market and one of the largest open-air street-art installations in the world, it’s a different world from the groomed avenues of Miami Beach.
The gourmet scene is on the up here as well – grab a bite at Beyonce’s favourite Italian, Joey’s (2506 North West 2nd Avenue), or sample ceviche at Peruvian restaurant GK Bistronomie (218 NW 25th Street).
Evening
After a late lunch, jump on the Tri-Rail and zoom down to Coconut Grove on the south side of Miami city centre. This is where celebs on Miami city breaks do their shopping, at the abundance of independent boutiques and in mega entertainment complex Cocowalk.
Recuperate at homely French bistro George’s In The Grove (3145 Commodore Plaza). With an eclectic menu and a cosy atmosphere, it will leave you with mesmerising memories of Miami.
