Other areas to stay in Miami
Downtown Miami
A great place to stay in Miami is Downtown Miami, which is the city’s commercial center. There is a huge choice of accommodation there, so you can get a really nice hotel for a very cheap price.
In addition to the large commercial buildings and executive life, Downtown offers good shopping and plenty of restaurants and bars.
Another plus is that the area is close to everything, making it an excellent location. Two great neighborhoods to stay in are Brickell and Midtown. Both are safe, with great hotels and perfect for tourists. And if you’re driving, you’ll be in Miami Beach in less than 10 minutes. Show, right?
Neighborhoods north of Miami
Miami is huge and there are other areas close to the city that are also great options for those who are more interested in resting and enjoying their trip in a more relaxed way. Two great places, for example, are
Boca Raton
and Fort Lauderdale, which are only 30 minutes from Miami Beach and are quieter areas with fewer tourists. The cool thing is that they also have beautiful, paradisiacal beaches, excellent for sunny days there.
One thing that’s not so attractive about these locations is that they don’t have the huge amount of shops, bars and nightclubs that you find further down in South Beach. However, you should know that they are charming areas that are very close to the Sawgrass Mills Outlet and Aventura Mall, which are some of the best places to shop in Miami.
Hotels we’ve stayed in on recent trips:
Hampton Inn Hotel
A VERY GOOD hotel that we stayed in Downtown. Great location- Novotel Miami Brickell: The cheapest hotel we’ve stayed in Downtown and it’s great
Hotel The Palms & Spa
: Sensational resort hotel on Miami Beach at a fair price- Hotel Abae: The cheapest hotel we’ve ever stayed in Miami Beach. Good and well located
How to find great hotels at incredible prices in Miami
1- Use the hotel finder: If you want to save a lot on accommodation and get a nice hotel in Miami, a great tip is to use this hotel finder.
Miami Hotel Finder
. We always use it because it’s the largest hotel search engine in the world. Not to mention that they have all the hotels in Miami and around the world in their searches, with unbeatable prices due to the strong negotiation they do. And there you can check out the opinions of Brazilians who have already stayed in the hotels, which helps a lot when evaluating each one.
2- Free cancellation tip: Another very good tip is that this search engine has a very strong partnership with the establishments and they offer free cancellation with almost all hotels. This is great, because the factor that will save you the most on accommodation is advance notice. This is the most important tip. The earlier you book, the cheaper you’ll pay. So you can book your hotel now to guarantee the lowest price, and if you later find a better one or don’t want to stay there, just cancel.
Where to buy your tickets for Miami attractions
There is a VERY good website to buy all the tickets in Miami. It is the largest ticket website in the world and has all the tours, museums, excursions and even ticket combos such as the Miami Explorer Pass, which saves you a lot of money.
It’s this
site here
which is the cheapest we’ve found, and the cool thing about it is that it offers everything in reais and in Portuguese. It’s also where we always buy the transfer from the airport to the hotel, which is cheaper than a cab and safer. In general, we always buy almost everything there.
