Planning Notes
Parking Alert
Valet parking at hotels can cost 50+ USD per night. Use public garages if possible.
Getting Around
While you need a car for the road trip, consider using the free Metromover in Downtown Miami.
Ocean Drive
Beautiful to look at, but eating there is often an overpriced tourist trap.
