How much does a trip to Miami cost?
In Miami almost the whole answer is lodging: which side of the bay you sleep on, and whether you go in the December–April dry season or the cheap, storm-prone late summer. Set your trip below for an honest estimate — a range, not a fake-precise number — across lodging, food, getting around and activities. Adjust the nights, travelers, hotel vs. rental and your style, and the total updates instantly. Note that beachfront resort fees and valet parking are charged nightly on top of the room rate, so check both on any property you book.
