36 Hours in Miami: Weekend Itinerary!
Alex Dean
Available for hire
So, you're ready to go to Miami but have under a weekend to do it? This is the itinerary for you! Welcome to my Weekender Series, meant for the limited-on-pto weekend warriors of the world.
With our schedules on this particular week, we visited for a Thursday to Saturday trip, leaving Thursday afternoon and returning Saturday evening. This could work similarly for any weekend you have, and if you're at all closer to Florida, you'd likely end up with even more time!
This itinerary is broken down by a few hours at a time, giving you an example of a very full day and a half! Included are places I recommend personally and substitutions for ones that I don't necessarily feel lived up to the hype.
Some highlights include:
• Best of Little Havana
• Where to stay
• Art in Miami
• South Beach stops
• Casual foodie options
Additionally, you'll find a final list of "extra" suggestions: things I didn't have time for, but would definitely like to squeeze in to my next visit!

Hour 1-3ish: Head straight to Little Havana/Calle Ocho
Our cost at 7am on a Friday (in May) was about $25 for an Uber. We got dropped off in the main area of Calle Ocho, but should have just Uber-ed straight to Versailles Bakery. We ended up walking there instead, and it was about two-three miles from where we began. (Check opening times though, we were a bit early to go straight there - so this is why we ended up walking).
Calle Ocho was so fun to walk around and see all of the shops, bars, food, etc. Below are all of the places we stopped by. I recommend all of them! Stop in anywhere nearby for cafecito in the morning or a refreshing mojito in the afternoon.

Hey friends! Welcome to my page for guides and recommendations. I specialize in "travel for the weirdos." Have you ever had that feeling of not fitting in? Ever been 'too much' of something or another, but not enough of something else? Well, me too. I understand, and I make guides for people just like us. I'm here to show off all of the unique and niche finds throughout this travel journey! From 90s themed AirBnbs to the world's largest bison statue and everything far and in between, I'll cover all the weird things we love.
I'm a travel photographer and content creator based out of Las Vegas, NV. Recently moved back to my hometown of Vegas after growing up and spending years in Montana, just outside of Yellowstone National Park. Come explore the Southwest and around the world with me!
