Everything you need to know about Miami
Miami is where Latin America and the United States meet the Atlantic — a bilingual, sun-soaked city of pastel Art Deco hotels along South Beach, cutting-edge murals in Wynwood, café cubano and salsa in Little Havana, and a glossy financial skyline in Brickell. It's endlessly walkable in pockets, wildly diverse, and the natural gateway to the Everglades and the Florida Keys. English and Spanish are spoken everywhere.

Essential info for Canadian travellers
Passport & entry: Canadian citizens travelling to the US by air need only a valid passport — no visa or ESTA is required.
Currency: The US Dollar (USD) is used everywhere. Cards are widely accepted; keep small bills for tips, cafés, and rideshares.
Power & plugs: The US uses 120V/60Hz with Type A/B plugs — the same as Canada, so your devices work without an adapter.
Time zone: Miami runs on Eastern Time (ET) — the same time zone as Toronto and Montreal, so no jet lag.
Getting around: The free Metromover loops around Downtown and Brickell; use rideshares or the beach trolley to move between South Beach, Wynwood, and the mainland.
