Cities & Neighborhoods: Where to Stay, Live and Get Around

This section covers the places themselves: Miami-Dade cities like Hialeah, Miami neighborhoods from Brickell's high-rises to Calle Ocho in Little Havana, and the cities of Broward and Palm Beach County. It also handles the practical side of arriving and settling in, with guides to Miami International Airport, the cruise port, Tri-Rail and where to book a room in Miami Beach or on the mainland. If you're planning a move, there's help sorting out which part of South Florida fits how you want to live.

Each guide opens with the answer, then lays out the steps and what you'll need, such as which MIA terminal you fly from or how to buy a Tri-Rail ticket. Schedules, fares and parking rules change, so we tell you which airport, transit agency or city office to check before you go.

Getting between counties without a car takes some planning, and our South Florida transit guides cover buses, trains and rideshare. Once you've picked a base, browse nearby attractions and sights to plan the rest of your days.
