There’s a good reason why Miami is also called The Magic City. It has all sorts of activities and attractions that make for a wondrous experience. Travelers can enjoy authentic Cuban coffee, swim with dolphins, party with the locals, and marvel at artworks, among so many other recreational pursuits.

The good news is that it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to enjoy Miami. For instance, weekly art festivals and outdoor events are common, with so much to see and do without spending a dime.
