Solo in Miami — quick playbook
- · Stack walkable neighborhoods back-to-back instead of chasing one big sight.
- · Eat at the bar — most good restaurants seat solo diners faster than parties of two.
- · One museum or gallery per day is plenty. Slow beats checklisting when you're alone.
- · Markets, festivals, and street-food strips are the easiest way to feel the city without forcing conversation.
- · Pick a café neighborhood as your "base camp" each morning — coffee, plan, go.
