From South Beach and Art Deco to Wynwood, Vizcaya, Little Havana, and the Everglades — here are the attractions worth your time in Miami, and the easiest way to reach them all.
Quick answer: Miami’s top attractions for tourists are South Beach & the Art Deco District, Wynwood Walls, Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, Little Havana’s Calle Ocho, the Pérez Art Museum, and a day trip to the Everglades or Florida Keys. They’re spread across a wide area, so the easiest way to see several in a day is by car — ideally an electric car rental in Miami delivered right to your hotel, so you skip the counter and the shuttle.

For most visitors, yes. Miami’s attractions are spread out and transit between neighborhoods is limited, while rideshare adds up quickly over a multi-day trip. A rental car — ideally a rental car delivered to your Miami hotel — gives you freedom to reach the beach, the Everglades, and the Keys on your own schedule.
Three to four days covers the highlights comfortably: South Beach and Art Deco, Wynwood and the Design District, Little Havana and Vizcaya, plus a day trip to the Everglades or the Keys. A car makes this itinerary easy to fit into a long weekend.
Both are best reached by car. The Everglades’ main entrance is about 45 minutes from downtown, and Key Largo is about an hour south. Neither is well served by transit, so a rental car — an electric car rental in Miami keeps fuel costs low on these longer drives — is the most flexible option.
