4. Nassau, The Bahamas

If you want your Miami weekend trip to be outside Florida, heck even outside the USA, then the first place that comes to our minds is Nassau in the Bahamas.

A short 1-hour flight from Miami to the capital of the Bahamas offers a delightful weekend getaway brimming with sun, sand, and vibrant Caribbean culture.

Located on the island of New Providence, Nassau will enthrall you with its picturesque pastel-colored colonial architecture, bustling markets, and powdery white sand beaches.

Start by strolling along the charming streets of downtown Nassau, where you’ll find the iconic Queen’s Staircase , a historic limestone structure boasting 66 steps, then explore the educational and interactive exhibits at the Pirates of Nassau Museum , or immerse yourself in Bahamian history at the National Art Gallery of the Bahamas .

However, the best part about a weekend trip from Miami to Nassau is the beaches. You can relax or participate in water activities like snorkeling and diving on the city’s pristine beaches such as Cable Beach and Cabbage Beach .

For an unforgettable experience, we recommend taking a day trip to Blue Lagoon Island or the Exuma Cays , where you can swim with friendly pigs and dolphins.

From its captivating history, stunning beaches, and lively atmosphere, Nassau is indeed one of the best weekend trips from Miami.

5. Vero Beach, Florida

Unspoiled beaches, lush parks, golf clubs, and a plethora of outdoor activities are some of the things that make this coastal city along Florida’s Treasure Coast one of the best places to visit from Miami on a weekend trip.

As you’d imagine, Vero Beach has long stretches of beaches but the ones you can’t miss include South Beach Park , Jaycee Park , and Humiston Beach Park where you can either chill on the white sand, go kayaking, fishing, or even just take a leisurely stroll in the paved walkways.

But for a unique experience, we recommend visiting during sea turtle nesting season (March through October) to get a chance to witness these fascinating creatures up close at the nearby Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge .

Other points of interest that nature lovers will appreciate include the scenic McKee Botanical Garden and the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge which offer picturesque trails and birdwatching opportunities. Riverside Park is another lovely spot to unwind, featuring a beautiful riverwalk, tennis courts, and a children’s playground.

While the city is known for its beaches, it also doesn’t lack in culture. You can take in its vibrant arts scene at the Vero Beach Museum of Art , or catch a live performance at the Riverside Theatre .

And as for shopping and dining, Ocean Drive boasts a variety of boutique shops, galleries, and charming eateries.

With all this, it’s not hard to see why Vero Beach is one of the most beautiful cities near Miami to visit.

6. Sarasota, Florida

Home to some of the most famous and beautiful beaches in southwest Florida , Sarasota is another beach weekend escape from Miami, located just over a three hours’ drive.

The city is famous for its thriving arts scene, beautiful beaches, and rich cultural heritage, making it the perfect destination for travelers who want a mix of relaxation on its long beaches and culture.

While you’ll probably spend your time enjoying the beauty of Siesta Key Beach and Lido Key (which are the most beautiful beaches in the city), Sarasota has much more to offer than this.

Discover the area’s unique history by visiting the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art , Circus Museum , or Ca’ d’Zan mansion , and if you’re into culture, Sarasota’s culture scene will not disappoint either.

There are a number of theatres and performing arts venues where you can watch either a musical, a classical concert, or even a dance show.

Some of the theatres to check out include Sarasota Opera House to catch an opera show, Asolo Repertory Theatre (which holds various shows), or Florida Studio Theatre .

For nature lovers, the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens and Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium showcase the region’s fascinating flora and marine life.

7. Bimini, Bahamas

Being the closest point from the mainland USA to the Bahamas, it’s not a brainer to think of Bimini when planning a weekend trip from Miami.

Located just 50 miles off the coast of Miami and easily accessible by a 2-hour ferry ride, this tropical paradise offers turquoise waters, unspoiled beaches, and a laid-back atmosphere.

Bimini is comprised of two main islands, North Bimini , and South Bimini , each boasting its own unique charm, though there is another island, East Bimini which in our opinion can be skipped, especially since you just have a few days.

North Bimini is known for its lively ambiance, vibrant nightlife, and the picturesque Alice Town , while South Bimini offers a more tranquil experience with its untouched nature reserves and secluded beaches.

If you’re a water sports enthusiast, you will be thrilled by Bimini’s world-class fishing, snorkeling, and diving opportunities due to its numerous shipwrecks, like the SS Sapona shipwreck and the legendary Bimini Road/Lost City of Atlantis , believed by some to be remnants of the Lost City of Atlantis.

So, if you were looking for the best weekend trips from Miami where you can escape the city bustles and laze on beautiful stretches of white beaches in the Caribbean, Bimini in the Bahamas should be your first choice.

8. Biscayne National Park, Florida

Biscayne National Park is the perfect weekend trip from Miami for nature enthusiasts and water lovers alike.

Located a little under 1 hour’s drive from downtown Miami , this 172,000-acre park, situated on the northernmost Florida Keys boasts a unique blend of vibrant coral reefs, lush mangrove forests, and crystal-clear waters.

Since 95% of the park is covered in water, it is best explored by boat! You can book guided tours, private charters, or rent a boat/kayak/canoe to experience the park’s stunning marine life up close and navigate the mangrove-lined shoreline.

For the more adventurous ones, you can go snorkeling to see the colorful coral reefs teeming with fish, sea turtles, and other marine creatures or on a diving adventure at the Maritime Heritage Trail to see various shipwrecks.

But if you’re more into fishing, the park’s diverse habitats create an angler’s paradise, though you’ll need to have a Florida recreational saltwater fishing license.

If you have more time, we recommend booking a boat tour to Boca Chita Key to see the historic lighthouse or a guided tour to the historic Stiltsville , a collection of wooden houses built on stilts above the bay.

9. Key West, Florida

Key West , the southernmost point in the continental United States, is a vibrant and picturesque island getaway just a scenic 3.5-hour drive from Miami.

Known for being a diving and snorkeling destination, with colorful architecture, and rich cultural history, Key West offers an adventure-filled escape from the city.

Start your visit at Duval Street , the island’s main thoroughfare which boasts a lively mix of shops, art galleries, restaurants, and bars, and then take a leisurely stroll through the charming streets lined with pastel-colored conch-style houses.

You can also explore the historic district featuring iconic landmarks like the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum , the Key West Lighthouse , and the Harry S. Truman Little White House which was the Winter White House for President Harry S. Truman.

For a relaxing day, you can visit one of Key West’s beaches like Smathers Beach , Clarence S.Higgs Memorial Beach , or Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park , where you can soak up the sun, swim, or snorkel in the crystal-clear waters.

Other things you can enjoy in Key West include visiting Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory , home to hundreds of butterflies and tropical birds, going on a sunset cruise, taking a snorkeling trip to the nearby coral reefs, or kayaking through the mangrove forests of the backcountry.

Steeped in history, culture, and architectural beauty, Havana , the capital of Cuba will offer you a truly unique travel experience that will transport you back in time by just hopping on a short 1-5 hours flight from Miami.

If you thought Little Havana in Miami prepared you for the immense beauty you’re about to find in Havana, you may want to think twice.

From the cobbled streets of Old Havana , a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you’ll find stunning colonial buildings, lively plazas, and vibrant street art to historical landmarks like the Cathedral of Havana , Plaza de Armas (the oldest plaza in the city), and El Capitolio , the Cuban capitol building, Havana will have you snapping photos at every turn.

Don’t miss the chance to dance the night away at a local salsa club, or experience Havana’s thriving arts scene by visiting the Fábrica de Arte Cubano , or attending a live performance at the Gran Teatro de La Habana .

But what’s a trip to Havana without indulging in traditional Cuban cuisine? Visit a paladar , a small Cuban family restaurant for authentic Cuban meals, and pick up a few Cuban cigars at a Cigar shop if you’re into this kind of thing.

11. Bahia Honda State Park, Florida Keys

Another place in the Florida Keys to consider for a Miami weekend trip is Bahia Honda State Park located about three hours away.

If you want a piece of the Caribbean vibe without ever leaving Florida, this is the place to be.

From its crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, palm trees that line the shores, and lush vegetation, every aspect of this park will give you the tranquil weekend escape you’re looking for.

The park has beautiful beaches; Sandspur Beach (the largest and most famous) and Calusa Beach & Loggerhead Beach , which are perfect for sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling, or even taking a leisurely walk along the shoreline. The beaches are also perfect for shelling.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the park’s range of activities, such as kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding through the serene waters.

On top of this, Bahia Honda also offers excellent opportunities for birdwatching, with many native and migratory species frequenting the area.

For a unique experience, hike the Old Bahia Honda Bridge Trail which offers panoramic views of the park and surrounding islands.

And to take your visit to the next level, we recommend booking one of the camping and cabin options available to stay overnight for a unique opportunity to stargaze.

You should, however, note that since this is one of the popular weekend trips from Miami and a sought-out state park for both locals and tourists, we recommend arriving early because the park stops entry as soon as the daily capacity is reached.

12. Cocoa Beach, Florida

Cocoa Beach may not be as resounding as cities like Naples or Sarasota but this charming city on Florida’s Space Coast, about 3 hours’ drive from Miami has evolved into a tourist spot for all kinds of travelers.

Space geeks (due to its close proximity to the Kennedy Space Center) surf enthusiasts, and beach bums all make their way to this no-so little gem.

The city’s six-mile stretch of coastline provides plenty of opportunities for sunbathing, swimming, or catching a wave at popular surf spots like the Cocoa Beach Pier or Lori Wilson Park . You can even visit the famous Ron Jon Surf Shop , the world’s largest surf shop to rent equipment or take a surfing lesson.

While in Cocoa Beach, be sure to visit the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex , where you will learn about the history of space exploration, see real rockets, or even watch a live rocket launch if you visit at the right time.

The nearby Brevard Zoo also offers an enjoyable day out for families with interactive exhibits and animal encounters.

Nature lovers are not left out either. The Thousand Islands Conservation Area offers canoeing and kayaking through mangrove-lined waterways, providing a glimpse of local wildlife.

Whether you’re into beach activities, space-related attractions, or natural beauty, Cocoa Beach is one of the best weekend getaways from Miami to consider.

13. West Palm Beach

Looking for a quick getaway from Miami? Then look no further than West Palm Beach which is located a little over an hour’s drive from Miami.

This city has a diverse mix of culture, entertainment, and natural beauty to appeal to all kinds of visitors, whether you’re looking for a laid-back experience by chilling on popular beaches like Palm Beach and Lake Worth Beach , or if you’d rather explore the vibrant downtown area.

If the latter is your pick, you can check out upscale shops, art galleries, buzzing nightlife, and a wide range of dining options at Clematis Street or head to CityPlace , an open-air shopping center, for an upscale retail experience, or stroll through the bustling West Palm Beach GreenMarket to pick up some fresh produce and artisanal goods.

And for a little bit of art and culture, head to Norton Museum of Art , which showcases an impressive collection of American, European, and Chinese art, or the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts which offers diverse exhibits and performances.

Other noteworthy places that make West Palm Beach one of the best Miami weekend trips include Okeeheelee Park perfect for golfing, hiking, mountain biking, and more, Mounts Botanical Garden , and the Manatee Lagoon .

Fun Facts about the Florida Everglades  

The Florida Everglades National Park is incredible, and it’s easy to see why people travel from all over the world to take an Everglades tour through the wetlands. The Everglades is incredible to see in person, with their unique vegetation and exciting wildlife. Despite the recent focus on the ecosystem, there is still much to learn about its contribution to South Florida and beyond. Here are three fascinating facts about the Everglades gleaned from park experts that may surprise you.

• The Everglades is a river: Believe it or not, the Everglades is a constantly moving river, which is ideal for an Everglades airboat tour . Water trickles from Lake Okeechobee to the south, forming a slow-moving river sixty miles wide and a hundred miles long. However, the “River of Grass” is much smaller than it used to be. Construction and related drainage projects have destroyed up to 50% of the wetland habitat.
• It is the only location on the planet where alligators and crocodiles coexist:  The Everglades are home to both crocodiles and gators. Crocs are mostly found in small numbers along the ‘glades’ coast, whereas alligators prefer to stay inland, near freshwater. Despite this, the Everglades ecosystem provides a natural habitat for both, and it is the only place on the planet where these reptiles coexist in the wild.
• There are 9 habitats providing a home to 16 endangered or threatened species: The Florida Everglades may be complex, but it’s that complexity that makes them so spectacular. The Florida panther and alligator are just two of the endangered animals that the Everglades ecosystem protects. With nine distinct habitats, the Everglades is also home to more than 16 species of birds, a variety of mammals, reptiles, plants, and a wealth of unique flora. America’s wetlands are spectacular and a fantastic learning environment for adventurous families, photographers, and nature lovers alike.

If you want to learn more and a trip through the Everglades sounds like fun, a narrated tour could be the answer! Visit our Best Everglades Tours in Miami , featuring 60-minute airboat ride, live alligator shows and a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with Florida’s finest.

Welcome to Key West Express

Welcome to the Key West Express Bus Tour Company website! When it comes to Miami to Key West bus tours, we are the leader in luxury coach touring and transportation from Miami down the scenic Overseas Highway to the Lower Keys and Key West. Key West Express is a State of Florida Department of Transportation Licensed Tour Operator, and we have been helping visitors enjoy Miami, the Florida Keys, and Key West for over a decade. Every year, more than 50,000 passengers board our clean, comfortable coaches. Besides being the best way to take a very scenic and enjoyable day tour from Miami along the Keys to Key West, coach travel is the most efficient and cost-effective transportation choice for journeys along the southernmost section of historic US Highway 1, also known as the Overseas Highway.

The Key West Express is the ultimate way to experience the awe-inspiring beauty and amazing engineering of the Overseas Highway. Spanning the entire 2,369 miles of the East Coast of the United States, Highway 1 is America’s longest north-south road, and the 127-mile stretch that threads the blue waters and lush tropical landscapes of the Florida Keys is legendary among the country’s scenic byways. You will cross open water on more than forty bridges including the amazing Seven Mile Bridge and traverse Keys both inhabited and uninhabited on the journey to the unique and historic tropical paradise of Key West. The Florida Keys are truly a different world, a place of blue waters, white sand, tropical foliage and the legendary haunts of explorers, pirates, smugglers, pioneers and adventurers from the earliest days of American history. A road trip through the Keys on the Overseas Highway is a unique and wonderful experience and the Key West Express is the only way to go if you really want to relax and fully take in the sights.

Miami to Key West Bus Tours

Our Miami to Key West bus tours start with a free morning pick up from most major Miami hotels. Board one of our modern touring coaches and grab a soft comfortable seat for the 4-hour drive down the Keys. Settle in with your favorite travel accessories - camera, smartphone, tablet, snacks, reading material - as the coach rolls south out of the Miami suburbs and through the Southern Everglades on US Highway 1. When you hit Key Largo and see blue water on both sides of the coach, you are on the famous Overseas Highway. Feel free to immerse yourself in the view because our luxury coaches not only offer comfort and convenience: the experienced professional driver at the wheel makes the Key West Express the absolute safest way to add a Key West side-trip to your Miami visit.

Gaze at the scenery, take photos, use the onboard WiFi to browse the Internet, or simply relax in air-conditioned bliss while listening to the narrated tour and enjoying the ride free of the responsibilities of driving. The reward at journey’s end is a fun afternoon in Key West, where you arrive rested and ready to enjoy the island free of any stress or worries about transportation back to Miami. Tour historic landmarks such as the Southernmost Point, Mel Fisher’s Treasure Hunting Museum, Ernest Hemingway’s House, Fort Zachary Taylor, and more. Combine your bus tour with a water activity like snorkeling, parasailing, a jet ski tour, or a glass-bottom boat ride. Shop, dine, party and play the afternoon away in America’s Caribbean, then return to Miami in the evening refreshed.

Key West Tours for Everyone!

Whether you are looking for a quick day trip, want to stay in Key West for a few days, or simply need efficient one-way transport to the island, a coach tour is a perfect choice. At about 4 hours each way, with hotel pick-up and drop-off included, travel by coach compares very favorably with the time it takes to reach Miami International Airport, clear security, and deal with the other hassles associated with flying to Key West. And besides the great sightseeing, a bus ride is just a lot of fun in general.

Cheapest destinations to see Taylor Swift concerts from 'Eras Tour' abroad

Are you a Florida Swiftie with “Eras Tour” FOMO?

It’s definitely too late to find a ticket to Taylor Swift’s October concerts in Miami for less than $2,000. 

But you can see an “Eras Tour” show in Warsaw, Poland, on Aug. 1, 2024, for about $500 cheaper than the cheapest concert ticket for a Miami show in October (including a roundtrip plane ticket to Poland, from Miami ).

Travel website Islands.com just released a study on the cheapest overseas destinations for seeing Miss Americana on the European leg of her tour. 

To calculate the cheapest overseas shows on Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” this summer, Islands.com aggregated data on each city to find the average most affordable concert tickets, the average cost for two days of spending on hotel rooms, meals, drinks and transportation in each city and each city's safety score.

Here’s the Islands.com list of the cheapest shows on the next leg of Taylor Swift’s tour and how much the cheapest plane tickets from Florida to the cheapest European concert are.

Does “The Eras Tour” come to Europe?

Yes! After a wildly successful first run of “The Eras Tour” in the U.S. in 2023, Taylor Swift extended her tour to an international one and will start performing in Europe this summer before returning for more U.S. shows in the fall.

Here’s Islands.com’s list of the Top 10 cheapest places to see Taylor Swift in Europe this summer, including two days’ worth of hotel, food, drink and transportation costs for each city:

• Warsaw, Poland: $443 cheapest concert ticket price, $712 total lowest average cost
• Gelsenkirchen, Germany: $387 cheapest concert ticket price, $749 total lowest average cost
• Hamburg, Germany: $411 cheapest concert ticket price, $903 total lowest average cost
• Stockholm, Sweden: $406 cheapest concert ticket price, $935 total lowest average cost
• Paris, France: $313 cheapest concert ticket price, $971 total lowest average cost
• Munich, Germany: $472 cheapest concert ticket price, $1,000 total lowest average cost
• Lisbon, Portugal: $507 cheapest concert ticket price, $1,028 total lowest average cost
• Lyon, France: $582 cheapest concert ticket price, $1,047 total lowest average cost
• Cardiff, UK: $679 cheapest concert ticket price, $1,061 total lowest average cost
• Vienna , Austria: $496 cheapest concert ticket price, $1,089 total lowest average cost

Does Taylor Swift perform in Poland?

Yes! Taylor Swift will be performing for three nights in Warsaw, from Thursday, Aug. 1, through Saturday, Aug. 3.

The cheapest ticket to see Taylor Swift perform in Warsaw, Poland in August is about $1,500 cheaper than the cheapest ticket to catch one of her Miami shows in October.

As of April, via Google Flights, you can buy a roundtrip plane ticket from Miami to Warsaw (with two layovers) for around $800 .

Add that $800 plane ticket to the around $500 it will cost for a concert ticket and the extra $200 to $300 you’ll spend in two days of visiting Warsaw, and the grand total comes out to a maximum of around $1,600, which is still $400 cheaper than the cheapest ticket to a Miami show.
