It's America, so a lot of places won't even have sidewalks. You want to walk on the side of the street like some vagrant and get shot by police ???

... you're just creepy ...
You'll want a car unless you want to cab around everywhere because the city is quite sprawling and doesn't have the transit build up of new york.

I looked on wikipedia and apparently theres a cycling initiative. Can you cycle along one of those bridge roads or will a rpidhead knock me down?

Do not cycle

Everyone ubers everywhere. 95% of everything happens on either South Beach (touristy, $$$), Brickell (local, corporate, $$) or Wynwood (artsy, local, $$, Zika). Each is a 5 minute car ride from the other, and once in one of them you can walk around to most everything.

Don't try this. Sure death is certain but not immediately. You still have many good years left in you if you are somewhat lucky and careful. Don't be a fool.

we have plenty of nice coastal area where you run less of a risk of getting stabbed and eaten by a hilljack.

the hilljacks in north/south carolina are very nice and their beaches are pretty.

Why do all the Brits want to go to Florida. People eat other peoples faces there. It's full of old people dying.

They don't even do MTV Spring Break there anymore. There is no reason. Go to some tropical island where the Brits still run everything. It'd probably be a lot cheaper too, considering.

I've lived in FL most of my life and have never seen any of the weird poo poo that gets a lot of attention. Of course I don't live in hosed up places like Fort Peirce (where most of the strangest stories come from). Miami is poo poo, drive straight through it and visit the Keys. You'd probably enjoy the wast coast more, like Siesta Key in Sarasota and you'd probably have more fun in Ybor City in Tampa than Miami.

I've run amok in Miami and had a bit of fun but not as much as The Keys or other places.


Want to try out that English accent? Go to Gainesville or Tallahassee and wow the college girls, you'll get laid your first night.

Just use Uber and visit a stripclub. Don't use public transit.
And talk with the driver about butts and tits while driving to the stripclub.

Come to Tampa/St. Pete. Orlando and Miami suck. Ybor City, Seminole Heights, and even downtown have a ton to do now. Also don't walk or ride a bike in Tampa either because you will get killed by a car or a crack head.

Hey baby I think we Havel lot in common
Jesus Christ Miami is a horrible place and a horrible city to drive in. Get rid of that idea immediately.

You want to go to Miami Beach. That's where everything good that you think is in Miami actually is. All the art deco hotels and poo poo are on Miami Beach. All of the nightlife is on Miami Beach. The loving beach is on Miami Beach. None of those things are in Miami.

The loving Dolphins aren't even in Miami.

Miami Beach is not Miami. Different city, different demographic, different corruption, different drugs, different everything. What you want to do is book your hotel in Miami Beach, fly into Miami International, get into a cab and go directly to your hotel. Enjoy the rest of your vacation and don't get into a car again until you have to go back to the airport.
