Spanning 50 city blocks and featuring more than 200 vibrant murals, the Wynwood district has transformed Miami’s once dilapidated urban core into one of the largest street art installations in the world.
Experience Cuban-American culture in Little Havana. Dive into the sights, sounds and flavors at Calle Ocho (SW 8th Street). There you’ll find Latin cafes serving up Cuban coffee and croquetas; the iconic Azucar ice cream parlor and more.
The buzz of many conversations and clacking dominoes will draw you into this community park, located at the corner of 15th Ave. and Calle Ocho. Domino Park is a daily hangout for locals (and observing tourists), who come to socialize over the favorite Cuban pastime of playing dominoes.
South Beach has all the sizzling beachy goodness the alluring city of Miami is known for. While simply planting an umbrella in the sand and soaking in the sun is enough to fill a blissful afternoon in South Beach, there’s plenty more to do in the iconic neighborhood.
This quirky roadside attraction about 45 minutes south of Miami in Homestead, Florida, is so worth the drive. Completed in 1940 by a single, undoubtedly odd man named Ed Leedskalnin, the Coral Castle and the story behind it are equally creepy and cool.
On your way to or from the Coral Castle, be sure to stop at this 37-acre sub-tropical botanical garden. It's the only one of its kind in the United States, with more than 500 varieties of fruits, spices and other exotic plants.
