Tourist Visa

Thanks to the U.S. visa waiver system, Australians, Canadians, and most Europeans will not need a visa to visit the country. The full list of countries included in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) can be found on the U.S. State Department website. Your passport will need to be machine-readable, contain an integrated chip, and be valid for at least six months from the date of travel. All visitors to the USA also need to complete an ESTA application before arrival, which is valid for two years.

Weather

The Miami Grand Prix takes place in early May, on the cusp between the area’s warm/dry season (November-April) and the hot/wet season (May-October). On average, there are nine days of rain in Miami in the month of May. Average temperatures in Miami in May are 26°C (79°F). Daytime temperatures in May range between 23°C (74°F) and 28°C (82°F). Humidity is high and there’s an average of ten hours of sunshine during May, so you’ll need to be prepared for your weekend at Hard Rock Stadium and stay hydrated.

Safety

Generally, Miami is a friendly and safe city but you will need to be vigilant. Beware of pickpockets near tourist landmarks and if you take a trip to the beach, don’t leave your belongings unattended. Overtown and Liberty City have the highest violent crime rates in the city, so avoid these areas completely if you can, especially at night.

Language

Miami is a diverse city. It’s estimated that over 80 languages are spoken here in total. English is the official language of Miami, but Spanish is spoken by around 60% of the population due to large immigration of people from Spanish-speaking regions. While you’ll get by without knowing any Spanish, it may be worth dusting off your Spanish phrase book ahead of your trip!
