Miami is friendly city for budget travelers


Some of you may disagree with me about it, but the city itself offers some free public transport which is already something that many other cities don't.
 The day pass for Metro and Buses costs US$5 per day - unlimited. 

Free transport: 
Monorail, free public transportation in Miami downtown


Miami Trolley 
There are actually two routes of these free buses services:
• Coral Gables 
•Biscayne to Brickell. (Since May 2012)



Apart from the blue sea and white sand of the beaches there is 
• Wynwood Arts District / Miami FL.

The Wynwood Arts District is the epicenter of the arts in Greater Miami. Home to over 50 art galleries, 4 museums and major collections, and much more. You'll find it nestled between I-95 and Biscayne Boulevard, from 20 to 36th street, south of the Design District.





• Little Havana / Calle 8

Don't be surprised if you go into a cuban coffee shop and being invited to a drink by someone you just met.  It happened to me the first time I went there, and I went back to make sure that it wasn't just a lucky day and it happened again!  
(if it doesn't happen to you, don't take it personal but instead try their traditional coffee - Cortadito or Cuban espresso.)



 Little Havana is a section of Miami, Florida, where many Cuban immigrants and refugees have settled. The high number of Cuban refugees Florida receives is due to its close proximity to Cuba. It is called Little Havana because Cuba's capital is Havana.

In recent years, increasing numbers of HonduranNicaraguan, and Guatemalan immigrants have moved into the neighborhood. At the same time, increasing numbers of Cubans left the area for the suburbs in western Miami. Part of Little Havana is now called Little Managua named after the Nicaraguan capital.
