I spent 48 hours in the sun-soaked city of Miami and I have picked a selection of my best tips to what felt like a Miami layover!
Arrivals and Departures:
When flying into Miami, you have 2 options either Miami International or Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. I flew into Miami and the quickest way into the city is usually by Uber which cost $22. You will be at the beach in less than 30 minutes and ready to enjoy your vacation .
Miami Neighborhoods:
Most people including myself normally associate Miami with South Beach so this trip I decided to explore a little more. Make sure not to miss Miami Beach, Downtown Miami, Little Haiti, Little Havana, and Wynwood, Design District which has become the heart of Miami’s art scene and a hot spot for some of Miami’s hippest restaurants, cafés, and lounges.
Best Places to Eat:
This little donut gem is located in the heart of Wynwoord Art District. Some may say good things come to those who waited over a half hour in line. This place lives up to the hype! Make sure to get here early to avoid lines and donuts selling out. The original glazed and brown butter donuts are definitely miles ahead of Dunkin Donuts, but nothing to wait over a hour for. If the line is short you should definitely try one!
Regarding the line – I’ll admit, standing in line for anything food related in the hot heat is not something I willingly do to often but the tent is a nice addition to help keep you shaded while waiting to get your next sugar fix. Expect to spend around $2.75 – $3.50 per donut.

Well located in the beautiful Bal Harbour Shops, this Japanese restaurant has all the glamour of its location with a beautiful well dressed audience. Between two people we spent $100 but ordered a multitude of plates. The crispy brussels sprouts were one of my favorites of the night! Makoto is most definitely one the top of my list for favorite restaurants in Miami, and one of my new faves.
