Top 10 Things To Do at Night1. Night Tour with Big Bus MiamiWhat better way to kick off a night in Miami, than by hopping on a 90-Minute Big Bus Night Tour all around the city? You’ll get to see the Magic City all lit up with its colors and vibrancy on this tour. Better yet, the tour is included with the Go City Miami Card. You can read more about the different types of Tourist Passes and which is best in our Blog Post. 2. Watch the Art Deco Turn From Day to NightThere is nothing more ‘iconic Miami’ than the neon lights of the Art Deco District.  Stroll along Ocean Drive as the city illuminates and comes to life, with Latin music pouring outside of the countless bars and restaurants. Take our self-guided audio tour of the Art Deco District after sunset, for a really unique experience! 3. Sunset Cruise in MiamiBefore you go out on the town, perhaps you should see what the city looks like when the sun begins to set. Miami sunsets are one of the most beautiful sights you will ever see, and there’s no better way to experience them than by taking a cruise. Some boat tour companies offer sunset cruises that will truly set the mood for a wonderful evening in the city. You’ll cruise through Biscayne Bay, Port of Miami, Fish Island, Miami Beach, and Millionaire’s Row as well as take in the unforgettable Miami Skyline. 4. Miami City Lights Air TourThere is nothing more unforgettable than flying over the sparkling skyscrapers of Downtown Miami via airplane as the city lights come to life. Thanks to the Miami Beach Sunset Breathtaking Flight Tour, in 45-minutes, you’ll get to take in the neon lights of South Beach and the moon reflecting on Biscayne Bay from an aerial view. Although this may be one of the more costly activities on the list, at $200 per person, it is also one of the most highly-rated experiences in Miami. If you’re looking for an exciting family activity, a nighttime air tour is a great way to see the city from a completely different perspective. 5. Art Walk at NightIf you’re looking for a way to save money while discovering the wonderful artwork in Miami’s art district, this is an excellent option. On the first Friday of every month, the Coral Gables Gallery offers free admission between 6 PM-10 PM. On the second Saturday of each month, thousands of locals and tourists alike flood the streets of Wynwood, Miami’s most colorfully decorated street art district, creating the city’s largest block party for the Wynwood Art Walk. More than 400 businesses open their doors after hours giving you access to delicious food, art galleries, boutique shops and so much more! There is also a guided art walk provided by the Miami Design Preservation League on Thursday nights at 6:30 PM. One way to take advantage of this guided tour is by getting the Go City Miami Card, which gives you access to a wide variety of attractions in the city. There are several different opportunities to discover the unique artistic vision of the Magic City, so make sure to choose the art walk that best fits your expectations. 6. Visit a Local NightclubOne of the best things to do at night in Miami is visit one of the local nightclubs. Some of the most popular in the city include Space-downtown Miami’s most popular club, LIV-dubbed the most popular club to spot a celebrity, Story-a 27,000 square-foot South Beach dance club, and E11even-which is open 24/7/365. When it comes to Miami’s clubs, you should expect the unexpected; there’s no such thing as average or ordinary here, as you’ll find venues that double as dinner clubs and even strip clubs. Some Miami nightclubs like Mango’s Tropical Cafe and Blume even offer live performances from flamenco dancers. It’s easy to dance the night away in an environment as dynamic and energetic as South Beach! If you're looking for help exploring all the best clubs, consider going on a Miami Beach Nightclub Crawl. This service includes an open bar at the first venue, so you won't even have to spend anything extra for drinks! 7. Live Jazz PerformancesThe Jazz scene in Miami is absolutely wonderful, with several different venues offering a variety of live shows. As a matter of fact, some clubs even pride themselves on having a live Jazz performance almost every single night. One such venue is Ball & Chain, located in Little Havana, offers live Jazz nightly Monday-Saturday and was voted one of the best live music venues in Miami. Or check out Le Chat Noir, which combines wine, cheese, and live Jazz music Tuesday-Saturday. The Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami (MOCA) offers free entertainment for jazz lovers on the last Friday of each month at 8 p.m. Concerts take place, rain or shine, on the plaza outside the Museum. 8. Outdoor Movies & MusicWhen the sun goes down, Miami’s night owls all begin to gather at their favorite local hotspots. Some of them will visit dance clubs while others prefer the silent halls of a movie theater. If you’ve seen and done pretty much everything else, or want to relax with the family, why not enjoy the cool night air on a blanket under the stars while watching a movie at the New World Center’s ExoStage. The SoundScape Cinema Series (scroll toward the bottom of page) screens films on a 7,000-square-foot outdoor projection wall. Movies are typically at 8 pm on Wednesdays and run from October-May. If classical music interests you more than movies, be sure to check out New World Symphony Wallcast Concerts, which allow you to experience free, classical music on their projection wall of the New World Center as well. 9. Sunset & Night Photography WorkshopIf you want to cherish your memories of the Magic City forever, what better way than by taking a photography tour of the city at night? During this workshop, you’ll explore Miami Beach as the sun begins to set and see the city from an entirely new perspective. Whether you want to be a photographer and build your portfolio or you just want to take some great pictures of this beautiful city at night, this is an excellent opportunity to experience how Miami truly comes to life when the sun goes down. You will need a camera, tripod, and potentially a few different types of lenses in order to capture the best photos of Ocean Drive and South Beach. 10. The Local TheatreThe Ziff Ballet Opera House is one of the highest-rated attractions in the city, with shows that appeal to almost everyone. In addition to several Off-Broadway shows, they also have productions aimed at more of a family audience. If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, taking in a play at one of the most beloved theatres in Miami is definitely an excellent option.

Watch the Sunset on the BeachMiami is synonymous with the beach and, although it’s fun to soak in the sun by day, it’s equally as exciting to enjoy the beach at sunset. Grab a bottle of wine and a blanket and watch the beach change from light to dark as you listen to the ocean waves. If you're looking for something quieter and intimate, then check out South Pointe Park or North Miami Beach. Both will be a much quieter alternative than bustling South Beach.

It’s a truly amazing experience for both children and adults alike. Night Clubs & Pub CrawlsIt’s no secret, other than its beaches, Miami is best known for its nightlife. Whether you want to dance the night away to electronic dance music, drink beer at a local pub, or experience true salsa dancing, this city has something for everyone. Miami offers up so many different nightclubs and pub crawls, it’s almost overwhelming. Fortunately, we’ve narrowed it down for you. Night ClubsThere is an endless amount of nightclubs to choose from in the greater Miami area. If you're looking to dance the night away to a hip DJ playing Latin music, then Candela Bar Brickell is THE place to go. You'll feel like a true local dancing at Candela. Basement is a unique night club, in that it not only is a club, but it also has a bowling alley and an ice skating rink. If you're looking for a more relaxed dance music scene, then Wynwood Yard is an excellent choice. Here, you can drink local craft beer, sip on cocktails, and listen to chill electronic music. Pub Crawl in Coral GablesIf the Miami nightclubs aren’t your scene, perhaps you’d prefer to visit some of the lively pubs and bars that the beautiful neighborhood of Coral Gables has to offer. Although many of the venues in South Beach are high-intensity clubs offering dinner, live performances, and even strip shows, the entertainment you will find in other neighborhoods is much more relaxed. Food Tours of Miami offers what they call the “Out and About Pub Crawl,” which will take you to several different pubs in the Coral Gables neighborhood. Many of the Pub Crawls you will find in Miami actually take you to a variety of clubs, so this is an excellent opportunity to avoid the nightclub scene and experience a side of the city that is often left untouched. Pub Crawl MiamiMaybe you are on a limited budget and cannot fathom paying the cover prices at all the most popular night clubs that Miami has to offer. If so why not go on a sampler Club Crawl instead?! Every Friday and Saturday Night, Pub CrawlMiami takes guests to 4 different South Beach bars, lounges, and clubs. Their flat fee includes entry to each and exclusive drink deals! World Crawl MiamiIf you’re looking to meet and mingle while in Miami, then World Crawl Miami is the tour for you!
