4. Wynwood Walls

WYNWOOD WALLS

The Wynwood Walls is an outdoor art space located in the heart of Miami’s most popular neighborhood, Wynwood. The area was originally used for warehouses and industrial purposes but has now been transformed into a hotbed for street art and modern architecture.

The walls are painted by artists from around the world, who have created murals that are meant to be viewed from afar as opposed to up close and personal. They’re made from concrete blocks, which makes them last longer than regular walls would, and they can also withstand bad weather conditions like hurricanes or thunderstorms without any damage being done!

5. Mary Brickell Village

MARY BRICKELL VILLAGE

Mary Brickell Village is a lifestyle center that’s perfect for a day out. It’s located in the financial district of Downtown Miami, making it easily accessible by public transportation. The shops are open seven days a week, until 8 pm on weekdays and until 9 pm on weekends. They offer an array of shopping experiences as well as some world-class dining experiences!

The area right around Calle Ocho (8th Street) has some of the best places in Miami to grab a bite and sip on an authentic mojito. If you’re into shopping, this part of town has plenty of options as well. You can stroll down Calle Ocho or head over to Calle 9th Avenue where there are plenty of stores with handcrafted jewelry and clothing by Cuban artisans. And if all that walking has got you tired, take a seat at one of Little Havana’s many outdoor cafes where you can enjoy some shade while eating some delicious Cuban food or drinking freshly squeezed fruit juices made with fresh fruit from local farms.

7. Coconut Grove

COCONUT GROVE

ART DECO DISTRICT

When you’re in the Art Deco District, you’ll find that it is a great place to go for a walk.
