What is the best means of transportation in Miami?
You’ll need a car to get from one area of Miami to another. It’s pretty sprawled out. If you’re staying in South Beach, don’t worry about a car. You have all the restaurants, attractions, nightlife and daytime activities at your fingertips. Miami is divided into quadrants: northwest, northeast, southwest, southeast. These meet at Miami Avenue, which separates east from west, and Flagler Street, which separates north from south. Avenues and courts run north-south; streets, terraces, and ways run east-west. Roads run diagonally, northwest-southeast. Don’t be afraid to ask for directions. As for taxis, beware. We don’t put it past a Miami cab driver to take advantage of tourists.
