On a budget, Little Havana / Calle Ocho still earns its price.
Free to wander; food/cigars/tours extra
On a good day it's the most soulful, authentic place in Miami — Domino Park elders mid-game, live son cubano, ventanita coffee windows, hand-rolled cigars. The catch: the few touristy blocks can feel like a curated version of themselves, and it's best experienced with a guide or on Viernes Culturales rather than as a quick photo stop.
