Things to Do in Miami, FL
Miami proper is the mainland: Wynwood's murals, Little Havana's cafecito windows, Brickell's rooftop bars and the Kaseya Center on the bay. Heat and Marlins games, Inter Miami at the new Freedom Park stadium and the Arsht Center give it the deepest events calendar on the coast.
