Planning notes for Miami
Miami, located on the Atlantic coast of Florida, is a city with a documented history spanning several millennia. The region was originally inhabited by the Tequesta people, with archaeological evidence at the Miami Circle site indicating human presence dating back approximately 2,000 years. Following Spanish arrival in 1513, the area transitioned through periods of Spanish and British rule before being ceded to the United States in 1821. The city was officially incorporated in 1896.

Local tips
- Always check your restaurant bill for an automatic service charge of 18-20%, which is common in tourist areas like South Beach and replaces the need for an additional tip.
- Utilize the free Metromover in Downtown and Brickell or the free city trolleys to navigate popular neighborhoods without the high cost and hassle of parking.
- Expect social gatherings and casual dinner reservations to run on 'Miami Time,' where arriving 15 to 30 minutes late is often the local norm.
- Stay off the beach sand after dark for safety, as these areas are unlit and isolated compared to the well-populated streets nearby.
