You might think that Miami is all about glitz and glamour and that you need a big budget to enjoy your time there. However, there are plenty of free activities and attractions that you can visit, leaving you with more money to spend on souvenirs. Check out the cheap apartments on offer in the city, book yourself in for a few nights, and then work your way through some of these ideas.
The beaches
The fabulous beaches that fill the coastline are one of Miami’s biggest draws. There are plenty of beaches around to satisfy all tastes, from family-friendly areas to party hotspots and nature reserves to water sports zones, and all of them can be enjoyed for free.
A day at the museum
A trip to one of the many museums and galleries in Miami might not be at the top of your to-do list, but there are some fascinating sights to see and many of them have free admission year-round or on select days. They include the MDC Museum and Galleries of Art and Design, the Bay of Pigs Museum, and the Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum.
Enjoy the celebrations
Throughout the year, Miami plays host to a variety of events and festivals, and some of the attractions are free to enter. You can take part in a celebration of all things Latin at the Carnaval on the Mile, celebrate the 4th of July Miami-style, or appreciate the culture at the city’s Art Deco Weekend.
