I’ve learned that a getaway to Miami doesn’t have to break the bank. If you plan it right, you can enjoy tons of activities and attractions that won’t cost you a cent. I always try to time my visit around a free museum day—it’s such a great way to take in the culture without spending anything. And instead of renting a car, I stick with cheap local transportation. It saves money and lets you see the city like a local.
