Walking. Perfect for soaking in the neon-drenched Art Deco architecture of Ocean Drive and the vibrant street art murals of Wynwood.

Free Trolley. A budget-friendly way to cruise through the city's distinct neighborhoods, especially useful for getting to Little Havana for an authentic late-night cafecito.

Citi Bike. The best way to feel the ocean breeze while cruising the South Beach boardwalk before heading to a sunset beach club.

Safety

United States remains a safe destination, but travelers should exercise increased caution due to the potential for civil unrest and the threat of terrorism in major metropolitan areas.

Be aware of your surroundings in public spaces, including schools, places of worship, and shopping centers, as mass shooting incidents can occur without warning.
Research specific neighborhoods before visiting, as violent crime rates can vary significantly even within the same city; avoid walking alone in unfamiliar areas at night.
Use ATMs located inside bank lobbies rather than on the street to minimize the risk of card skimming and physical theft.
Always lock your vehicle and keep valuables, such as bags or electronics, completely out of sight to prevent smash-and-grab thefts.
Avoid areas where protests or large public gatherings are taking place, as even peaceful demonstrations can turn confrontational or unpredictable.
Individuals may try to hand you a CD or trinket, then aggressively demand payment once you have accepted it.
