17 days in Miami & Orlando Itinerary

Florida’s mecca of fun in the sun, the lively tropical metropolis of Miami is one of the world’s top vacation spots.

Change things up with these side-trips from Miami: Thalatta Estate Park (in Palmetto Bay), Key Largo (Spiegel Grove, Christ of the Deep, &more) and Florida Keys Wild Bird Rehabilitation Center (in Tavernier). And it doesn't end there: see the interesting displays at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, buy something for everyone on your list at Bayside Marketplace, explore the engaging exhibits at Miami Children's Museum, and kick back and relax at South Beach.

Use the Route module to find travel options from your starting location to Miami. Expect a daytime high around 89°F in June, and nighttime lows around 77°F. Cap off your sightseeing on the 11th (Fri) early enough to travel to Orlando.

For most people, any mention of Orlando immediately conjures up images of sprawling theme parks filled with characters plucked right out of popular animated movies.

Change things up with these side-trips from Orlando: Vero Beach (Photography Tours, Shark Bait Beach Gear Rentals, &more). Pack the 11th (Fri) with family-friendly diversions at Universal Orlando Resort. Have a day of magic on the 19th (Sat) at Disney's Animal Kingdom. There's much more to do: find something for the whole family at Universal's Islands of Adventure, get the adrenaline pumping with an extreme tour, pause for some serene contemplation at St James Roman Catholic Cathedral, and make a splash at Discovery Cove.

For maps, traveler tips, more things to do, and more tourist information, refer to the Orlando online tour planner.
