The Best Things to do in Miami

This city is known for good food, top-class restaurants, crazy parties, but also beautiful beaches, and stunning nature. You can get lost in the national parks, enjoy nature, plan a picnic, or go out. The weekend is the perfect time to try something new, eat delicious food, and visit food spots you've never been to. We've gathered what we think is the best of Miami in this list, and we hope you'll like it too.

Visit the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens

If you want to feel like you've traveled to Europe for this holiday, you should visit the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens. It's a great way to spend your Labor Day in Miami. If you have never had a chance to visit it, it's a Renaissance-style villa located in Coconut Grove. The gardens surrounding the villa are full of lush greenery, and it's a picture-perfect place if you want to relax and release all the accumulated stress you've been piling inside. The way the gardens are designed and maintained will leave you without words. Once you get home after the visit, you'll be relaxed, and your phone will be full of magnificent photos. And you should know that you should book your ticket online before coming. 

Go to Wynwood Walls 

Wynwood Walls are the answer if you are not in the mood to visit indoor places and museums but still crave a bit of art during this Labor Day weekend in Miami. It's the city's first outdoor museum that focuses on street art, and it's also the only one. If you go there, you'll be able to see more than 50 murals by numerous well-known muralists worldwide. You will be speechless when you see them all; it's the best in Miami. 

Eat Good Seafood

What's Labor Day in Miami if you don't treat yourself to some fine seafood? So, if you want to do that, and who wouldn't, we know just the right place. Stiltsville Fish Bar is a nautically-themed restaurant located in the heart of the Sunset Harbor neighborhood. It's a relaxed and casual place perfect for when you crave some excellent seafood. The place is run by a chef couple, Jeff and Janine, and it's loved by local folks, which is a big thing. If you decide to go, we recommend you try the Tuna Ceviche, Cobia Tiradito, or Caviar Deviled Eggs. And for the main event, Seared Local Catch is always a good idea or Crispy Whole Fish. 

Go to a Concert

Labor Day weekend in Miami is a fantastic excuse to go to a concert because it's a long weekend and you don't have to work on Monday. So you'll have enough time to recover after singing and jumping the whole night. And now that most Covid restrictions have been lifted, it's time to relax and enjoy your time. A few concerts are happening in the city during the weekend, so you should check out what's most interesting for you. 

Visit the Jungle Island

If you love birds, you must visit Jungle Island. There, you'll see some of the most unique and colorful birds and parrots. Be prepared for the noise, but believe us, it is worth it. There are also other animals in the park, so be prepared to see the white lion, llamas, tigers, and feisty kangaroos. It's a great place to visit with your kids, as it's not as big as the ZOO, so it's not overwhelming. There are a lot of exciting activities that you can do there, especially if you are visiting with your little ones. 

Go to the ZOO 

If you prefer bigger spaces and want to see more animals, you can visit the Miami ZOO, that's open again. You can enjoy many activities at the ZOO, from strolling around and enjoying seeing the animals to riding the Safari cycles or the pedal boats. There are also water parks with water slides that are a massive hit with the kids. And did we mention that you can feed the giraffes? Yes, you can. It's good to know that the tickets should be purchased online, so now is the best time to go and buy those tickets. 

Go Out and Grab a Cocktail

The best thing to do in Miami is to go out for cocktails. There are so many fabulous places you can go and drink delicious cocktails, but we are not going to recommend any specific place. Grab your friends and head out to town; sit at the first place you find and drink a cocktail. Once you finish it, get up, go for a walk, and sit at another place you find interesting. Yes, we suggest you go bar hopping for Labor Day weekend in Miami, because why not? It's the best way to find out new places and even find your new favorite spot. And it's your free day; you can get a little bit tipsy.

Go On a Boat Tour

We bet you can't imagine what kind of boat tour we are considering. It's not the fancy kind; we think the best thing to do in Miami this weekend is to go on a boat tour of Everglades National Park. What do you say about that? Do you like the idea? The national park by itself is nature's work of art, and you should visit it and tour it at least once in your lifetime. While doing the boat tour, you can see typical Florida scenery, alligators, turtles, cranes, and manatees. Some say they even saw panthers running around, but we don't believe it until we see it with our own eyes. And the best part is that the Everglades are so near the city, so use your free time wisely and give yourself a chance to enjoy something you can do every day. And yes, the only proper way to do it is with an airboat. Are we in Florida, or are we not? We hope you like our ideas and will spend this holiday weekend surrounded by your friends and family, doing the things you love. Take this time off to enjoy the small things and spend time with your loved ones.
