With
recent additions and improvements made to Greater Miami and the
Beaches' extensive transportation system, getting around town has
never been easier. From the moment visitors arrive, our transportation
specialists work hard to ensure that getting around Greater Miami
and the Beaches will be smooth sailing—and flying, driving or
riding.
Centrally located just seven miles from Downtown Miami, the Miami
International Airport ranks seventh in the U.S. for total passenger
traffic. Approximately 32 million travelers pass through its portals
annually.
If you do not wish to rent an automobile, there are several economic
methods of public transportation available throughout Greater Miami
and the Beaches. Metrorail is a 21-mile elevated rail system that
serves Downtown Miami and extends west to Hialeah and south to Kendall,
with stops approximately every mile. Metromover features individual
motorized cars that run atop a 4.4-mile elevated track looping around
Downtown Miami and to the Brickell and Omni business districts.
Metrobus offers more than 60 routes in Miami-Dade County. Tri-Rail
is a commuter rail system with 15 stations throughout Dade, Broward
and Palm Beach counties.
The Port of Miami, known as the cruise capital of the world, serves
as the embarkation point for 20 cruise ships operated by 10 cruise
lines—the world's largest year-round fleet. The Port serves as
the gateway for more than three million passengers a year.
