1. Travel in spring and fall when there are fewer crowds and nicer weather
The best time to visit Miami is in the spring from March to May, when the weather is warm but not as humid, and hurricane season has not started yet. Also, the peak season is coming to an end, which means fewer crowds and lower prices.
June to September are the cheapest months to visit Miami.
Probably, the least convenient time to visit is July, when the weather is hot and humid, plus, this is the hurricane season.
But don’t worry, Miami has it all – from year-round sunshine to natural beauty to an exciting food, art, and culture scene, so you’ll have a wonderful time regardless of the season.
