Florida FAQ
Seasons, airports, cities to combine and documents for travelers coming from Mexico.
When is the best time to visit Florida?
November through April is dry and mild, ideal for beaches in the south and walking the parks in Orlando. Summer is hot and humid with afternoon storms. Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, busiest from August to October; if you travel then, keep an eye on the forecast.
What documents do I need from Mexico?
A valid Mexican passport and a US visitor visa (B1/B2 or Border Crossing Card). Mexican citizens can't use ESTA. If you arrive by air, your I-94 entry record is created electronically. If you plan to drive, your valid license works for renting a car, though some rental companies also ask for your passport.
Which airport should I fly into?
For Miami and the Keys, Miami International (MIA) or Fort Lauderdale (FLL). For Disney, Universal and the Space Coast, Orlando International (MCO). Tampa (TPA) works best for Gulf Coast beaches such as Clearwater. If you combine cities, you can fly into one and out of another.
Can I combine Miami and Orlando in one trip?
Yes, it's the most popular route. It's about three and a half hours by car on Florida's Turnpike, and Brightline trains also run between Miami and Orlando's airport. A typical plan is three or four nights in Orlando for the parks and three in Miami for the beach.
Are the Florida Keys worth it?
Yes. The Overseas Highway links the islands with bridges over open water, including the famous Seven Mile Bridge. Miami to Key West is roughly three and a half to four hours by car without stops. Key Largo, closer in, is a good base for reef snorkeling.
How do I visit Kennedy Space Center?
The visitor complex is on Merritt Island on the Space Coast, about an hour's drive east of Orlando. There you'll see the Rocket Garden, the Space Shuttle Atlantis and a Saturn V rocket. If a launch is scheduled during your trip, nearby Cocoa Beach is a good place to watch it.
Where should I stay in Miami?
South Beach, in Miami Beach, is for the beach, Ocean Drive and nightlife; Brickell and downtown have well-connected business hotels; Wynwood and the Design District are for art and restaurants. For something quieter on the ocean, look at Mid-Beach or North Beach.
Do I need a car in Florida?
To move between cities, renting one makes sense: distances are long and public transit is limited outside Miami. Many highways use electronic tolls, so ask the rental company how they're billed. In Orlando, the parks charge for parking and some hotels run shuttles to the parks.
What local food should I try?
In Miami, a Cuban sandwich, a cafecito from a Little Havana walk-up window and croquetas. In the Keys, key lime pie and fresh fish. In season, from mid-October to early May, try stone crab claws.
