A Magnificent Long Weekend in Miami Itinerary

Miami is the perfect place to spend 3 days. It has endless sunshine, warm weather all year round, the best urban beach on the planet, delicious food, and a diverse population, and it’s the gateway to the Caribbean.

This 3-day Miami itinerary is perfect for anyone heading South to spend a long weekend or to kick off a trip to the Caribbean, or the Keys.

Here’s a 3-day itinerary to see Miami, from the beaches of South Beach and Little Havana to its restaurants.

Day 1: South Beach and Beyond

The perfect way to begin your three days in Miami is from this pier, which offers some of the most beautiful views in Miami.

You can see downtown Miami from the pier if you walk out and then turn around. The skyline is framed on both sides by the ocean and Miami Beach.

This is a stunning view, and as soon as your eyes are tired of staring at it, you can easily access South Beach.

Day 2: Little Havana and Wynwood

Start your second day in Miami with a delicious food tour in Little Havana!

Little Havana and its main thoroughfare, Calle Ocho, are two of Miami’s most popular neighborhoods, despite their small size, mostly residential nature, and captivating history. It has a distinct vibe and a magnificent food scene.

Day 3: Say Goodbye to Miami

Bayside Marketplace, in essence, is a shopping mall, but one that has a fantastic location right on the water.

It actually reminded us quite a bit of the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, with a modern shopping-meets-harbor vibe, but while it is an extremely popular place to visit during a long weekend in Miami, it’s not on our most recommended spots list. However, there’s still a reason to stop by.
