View details — Little Havana and Calle OchoMany of the best things to do in Miami cost nothing and are about soaking up the atmosphere of its neighbourhoods. In Little Havana, a walk along Calle Ocho takes in Domino Park, the Walk of Fame and the Tower Theater, with Cuban coffee, ice cream and live music along the way; the last Friday of each month brings Viernes Culturales to the street. On Miami Beach, the Art Deco Historic District has around 960 historic buildings, with the hotels of Ocean Drive facing Lummus Park and the sea.
Lincoln Road, a pedestrian promenade since 1960, is the place for shopping and an evening stroll, with a free art walk on the third Thursday of each month. The Miami Design District mixes boutiques, design showrooms, public art and free museums, and South Pointe Park, at the southern tip of Miami Beach, is ideal for watching boats from the boardwalk or letting children loose in the playground. Plan outdoor walks for the morning or late afternoon, carry water and sun protection, and combine each area with a meal nearby so you are not crossing the city too often.
