GETTING THERE

ARRIVAL & TRANSPORT

Miami International (MIA) is primary; Fort Lauderdale (FLL) is a cheaper alt 40 min north. Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens is 25–45 min from downtown by car — the Tri-Rail commuter line has a shuttle connection. Plan ahead.

For intercity travel between Miami and other host cities, see the city-to-city travel guide.

WHERE TO STAY

NEIGHBORHOODS

Brickell or Wynwood for walkability and bars; Aventura or Miami Gardens for stadium proximity; South Beach if you want the beach but expect $400+/night in June–July.

FAN ZONES

WHERE FANS GATHER

Expect official fan zones at Bayfront Park in downtown Miami and at Maurice A. Ferré Park. Wynwood bars will spill onto the streets for major matches.

LOCAL TIPS

WHAT TO KNOW

Spanish is as common as English. Summer is hurricane-adjacent — sudden storms are normal. Sunscreen is non-negotiable. Water tours and Everglades trips are must-dos on non-match days.
