Things to do Miami

[magpie72]

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone could suggest some things for me and my husband to do/see in Miami. We are staying there for 5 nights in September at the Fontainebleau after our cruise. We do not have a car so ideally wouldnt be too far for us to go. Thanks....

Ooh I'm jealous!!

 

Unfortunately the area you are in isn't great for walking around and doing things but it is a short bus ride or cab ride to South Beach.

 

Of course you are staying at one of the most gorgeous hotels on the planet and there are lots of options right on property.

 

My favorite restaurant in the world, The Forge is right around the corner from the hotel. Very cool Miami landmark.

 

September is still our summer so make sure you stock up on sunblock.

 

One of the great things is that September is low season so you will not find any crowds. The ocean temps are very balmy.

 

One of my favorite sources for where to dine and where to have fun is at http://www.Thrillist.com and click on Miami. Matt Meltzer is a great writer and his lists are spot on!

 

Have fun and let me know if you have any specific questions, I'll be glad to answer.
