Also known as 8th Street or "Calle Ocho", Little Havana is one of the most vibrant and visually appealing of Miami's neighborhoods.
Great coffee, tasty mojitos, and an opportunity to explore a different style of art. Plus there's plenty of music! For many Americans, this is the most authentic Cuban experience you'll ever have. If you're visiting Miami for the first time, you should prioritize a visit to Little Havana.
Planning your trip
In addition to the regular daily tours and options for your visit, there's a healthy calendar of events hosted in the community. Viernes Culturales or "Cultural Fridays" occur the third Friday of every month, and you'll find all sorts of venues hosting private or public parties and music-themed celebrations.
Regular tours offering Little Havana as a day trip or as part of a larger route in Miami can be great value but often only deliver a superficial view into one of Miami's most unique neighborhoods, barely scratching the surface. Gain a deeper perspective with dining & drinks, maybe a bit of dancing, and definitely some art and cigars!
When you should go
Little Havana runs on Cuban time, that means things can be a bit more laid back than other Miami hot spots. Don't expect many options for sightseeing or activities to be available much before 11:00 most mornings.
What else you might need
Occasional large events such as the Calle Ocho Street Festival require advanced ticketing, otherwise this vibrant neighborhood of Miami welcomes guests throughout the day and into the evening hours.
