Why this plan works
The 3 stops cover about 4.1 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Miami instead of crossing town between them. Miami Beach Botanical Garden is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Café Bastille Downtown Miami — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to solo, friends, and couples who want a planned Miami outing without improvising between stops.
