Miami is one of the most exciting cities in the world, and with the FIFA World Cup 2026 bringing hundreds of thousands of fans to South Florida, there has never been a better time to explore. Here are the top 10 things to do between matches:
1. Take a Miami City Tour
The best way to see Miami in a single day. A guided city tour covers South Beach, the Art Deco District, Wynwood Walls, Little Havana, Key Biscayne, and more. Hotel pickup included on most tours.
2. Hit the Beach at South Beach
South Beach is iconic for a reason. Crystal-clear water, white sand, colorful lifeguard towers, and the famous Ocean Drive boardwalk. Just 30 minutes from Hard Rock Stadium, it's the perfect way to cool off on match days.
3. Explore the Everglades
An Everglades airboat tour is a must-do Florida experience. Glide through the wetlands, spot alligators and exotic birds, and learn about one of the most unique ecosystems on Earth.
4. Day Trip to Key West
Drive the famous Overseas Highway across 42 bridges to Key West. Snorkel in crystal-clear water, visit Ernest Hemingway's house, and watch the sunset at Mallory Square.
5. Cruise Biscayne Bay
A Biscayne Bay sightseeing cruise offers stunning views of the Miami skyline, Star Island celebrity mansions, and the turquoise waters of the bay. A relaxing 90-minute experience.
6. Walk Through Wynwood Walls
Wynwood is Miami's world-famous street art district. Massive colorful murals cover entire buildings, and the area is packed with galleries, craft breweries, and trendy restaurants. Free to walk around.
7. Experience Little Havana
Calle Ocho is the heart of Miami's Cuban community. Watch cigars being hand-rolled, sip a cortadito (Cuban espresso), taste authentic Cuban food, and feel the rhythm of live salsa music.
8. Go Parasailing or Jet Skiing
For thrill seekers, Miami offers parasailing, jet skiing, flyboarding, and other water sports. See Miami Beach from 300 feet in the air.
9. Visit Vizcaya Museum and Gardens
This stunning Italian Renaissance-style villa on Biscayne Bay is one of Miami's most beautiful landmarks. The Vizcaya Museum tour with transportation is a peaceful escape from the World Cup crowds.
10. Experience Miami Nightlife
After the final whistle, Miami's nightlife comes alive. South Beach clubs like LIV, E11EVEN, and Mango's Tropical Cafe are legendary. Try a Salsa Night and Mojitos experience for a truly Miami evening.
