Miami is one of America’s most fun cities

by Elizabeth Kanzeg Rowland

Whether you are looking to party or relax, Miami offers a good time at an affordable price. The city was named among the top five most fun cities in the U.S. in a recent study by WalletHub.

The finance company ranked 182 U.S. cities based on entertainment, nightlife and parties, and the financial cost of recreation using data from the U.S. Census Bureau, TripAdvisor and other sources. Miami placed No. 3, just behind Orlando and Las Vegas.

Luscious beaches drove Miami’s high ranking. The city claimed more fishing facilities, marinas, boat tours and water sports opportunities per capita than any other metro in the nation.

For those looking to party, Miami tied with several other cities for the most dance clubs per capita. But health and wellness are also accessible to Miami residents, 89% of whom live within half a mile of a park. Plus, the city ranked No. 4 for most fitness centers per capita.

Although Miami wallowed at No. 158 for overall affordability, the city scored well for access to affordable restaurants rated at least 4.5 out of 5 stars.

“Miami stands out as one of the most fun cities because it offers variety beyond just nightlife,” WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo told South Florida Agent Magazine. “WalletHub’s data shows that a ‘fun’ city is one where people don’t have to compromise what they enjoy, and Miami superbly fits that definition … What really makes Miami unique is that it combines beaches, outdoor activities, bars and clubs, sports, theaters, arcades and diverse dining, all in one place. It’s more than a tourist destination; it’s a place where locals can enjoy cost-effective fun every week without feeling like they’re doing the same thing twice.”
