Activities to do in Miami (like actually)

Purple Star emoji 18 items
I don't like seeing people recommend “things to do in Miami”, and it's an activity in Hialeah or Kendall…………. that's not actually Miami. So without further ado, as someone who was born and raised in this city, here's what I recommend :)
 P.S. I've organized this list into the communities they're in, they're all technically Miami

Coconut Grove 🌿

This botanical garden is one of the MOST beautiful ones I've ever seen. Besides the obvious greenery, the walking trails are so peaceful, there's Florida history, there's wildlife all around to admire, and the staff is always so friendly!

There are a ton of good restaurants in Miami, but this one is special. Although it's a very tiny store with limited seating, the food makes up for it. Mouth-watering bagel sandwiches, various authentic coffee choices, and an environment worth the vis...

I think about this place all the time. It stays being in my dreams. You'll find no other authentic Chinese food in Miami. It has a nostalgic environment, the staff are friendly, and the food-, stomach grumbling and mouth-salivating worthy.

Absolute BEST place to get tacos. This restaurant has such a homey-nostalgic feel to it and is so welcoming. They have a “panaderia”, which is a bread bakery, along with amazing food and drinks!
Mi Rinconcito Mexicano

If you didn't visit Palacios de Los Jugos when you came to Miami, you didn't REALLY visit Miami. This is the most local thing you can ever do. The best authentic Cuban cuisine you'll find.

There is no place like this one. You step in and it's like you've entered the mind of a little girl who loves princesses, sweets and pink! It's totally worth the vibe!

A very authentic French restaurant, Pastis has so many options for food, drinks and seating! The decoration is like no other, following a very glamour vibe to it. A bit on the pricier side- but still worth paying a visit.

I have had so many good memories here… The sun, the food, the music, what more could you ask for? There are paths for walking and biking, the water is clean and clear, and the lively restaurants all add to Miami Beach's charm.

Such a great theatre with so much history!! I've been to 2 shows here and loved both of them so much. It's located on a beautiful street, called Miracle Mile, with tons of shops and restaurants as well!
