If you are planning on visiting Miami for the first time, you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed by the sheer number of things you can see and do in the area. Miami is certainly a place that has so much to offer. With that being said, continue reading and you will gather some useful tips on making the most of your Miami holiday.

Make the most of free Wi-Fi

 One of the best ways to keep in touch with loved ones while in Miami is to make the most of the free WiFi that is available. You will find free WiFi in virtually all of the coffee shops, and the City of Miami Beach actually offers at least 95 per cent coverage, so there really is no need to accumulate a big phone bill.

Embrace the luxurious side of Miami

 If there is one thing that Miami has in abundance, it is luxury, so you should make sure to incorporate a slice of this into your trip. There are many different ways you can do this. You could glam up for one of the luxe lounge bars, or why not rent a yacht in Miami Beach? This is one of the most lavish ways to enjoy Miami. After all, what could be better than relaxing on the twinkling blue waters with a cocktail in hand and the sun shining down?

Check your bill 

The standard tip in the U.S. is 15 per cent. If people are satisfied, they often leave 20 per cent. If you are not happy, you can leave less or nothing at all, but please keep in mind that it is considered rude to not pay the gratuity. Nevertheless, one thing you do need to be mindful of is that the tip may have already been added to the bill. This is something of an exception in the U.S., as you don’t find the tip usually pre-added. However, it often is at Miami Beach.

Plan your shopping trip 

Miami is heaven for anyone that loves to shop, but you should plan your shopping trip in advanced because there are so many options. Where you go will depend on how much you want to spend and the sort of shops you are looking for. For luxury and high-class shopping, Bal Harbour is the place to be. For a huge variety of stores, the Dolphin Mall has more than 200 for you to choose from. For great bargains, Sawgrass Mills is where you will find factory outlet stores. For boutiques, independent stores, and a great farmers market on Sundays, try Lincoln Road.

Hopefully, you now feel a bit more prepared for your Miami break. There is certainly a lot to see and do in the area, which is why it is a good idea to do your research beforehand and have a plan of action. After all, the last thing you want to do is come home with regrets because you did not get to go somewhere you really wanted to.
