With non-stop nightlife, pristine beaches, luxurious hotels and shopping, jaw-dropping art and architecture, and a diverse restaurant scene, Miami has a little bit of everything. With endless fun things to do, though, planning a trip here can get a bit overwhelming. That's why we tapped some top travel experts for their insider knowledge of The Magic City—to share some must-know tips that ensure a memorable getaway.

First thing's first: the best time of year to visit Miami is between mid-November and mid-May when the heat and humidity are far less oppressive. That's not to say summer is out of the question, but the weather between late fall and early spring is most ideal for exploring the city's attractions on foot.

"Like any big city, Miami traffic is simply the stuff of nightmares," he explains. "You'll easily lose a few hours per day just driving from place to place. Instead, walk as much as you can, rent an e-bike, and use public transportation. You'll get to see all the great nooks and crannies of Miami this way, too."
