pmoniz Posted July 23, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2019 A few of us will be spending a couple of days before the cruise in Miami. What is the best area to stay in where we can just walk around to shops, bars, restaurants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the best area to stay in where we can just walk around to shops, bars, restaurants? We stayed at the Hampton Inn Brickell. This area is just steps away from restaurants, shopping and bars. It is in the financial district of Miami and we felt very safe there. We would not hesitate to stay there again.

skrufy Posted July 23, 2019 #4 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Brickell, South Beach, or downtown areas are the most popular. Brickell has lots of shopping and restaurants. South Beach/ Miami Beach has a big shopping/ restaurant area. Downtown has restaurants but not much shopping, Bayside downtown has some shopping and restaurants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohninDC Posted July 23, 2019 #7 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I agree with downtown or South Beach, but would also check out Coconut Grove. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flymia Posted July 23, 2019 #8 Share Posted July 23, 2019 For a few days I would go with South Beach. But Downtown and Brickell area is very good location as well. Regardless if you stay in either, you should take a visit to the other, its a quick Uber ride. But staying in Miami Beach will give you the "Miami" you see in movies, lots of bars and places to eat to walk around to and of course walking to the beach. Brickell will be more local, and honestly better places to eat and drink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDAJ23 Posted July 29, 2019 #11 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Stay south of 5th in south beach. A quiet neighborhood a few short blocks from the crazy excitement. Also the beach here is almost private. Look on Airbnb for affordable, beachfront options 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHerons Posted July 30, 2019 #12 Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) South Beach for sure if you have a couple of days. I like to stay in the area oceanfront north of 14th on Collins but we always hang out South of Fifth (Prime 112, Joes, Smith & Wollensky, Nikki Beach, Montyys) and the marina is there.

PelicanBill Posted August 4, 2019 #14 Share Posted August 4, 2019 If you prefer to stay closer to the port, then stay at the Holiday Inn Port of Miami or near there. There is a lively area of restaurants and night spots across the park at the marina. And many restaurants and clubs in the downtown area. You can get downtown from the airport on public transit for $2.25. Also easy 30 min trip to south beach on the #150 airport express bus also $2.25.
