Visit Downtown Miami
Bayside Blaster
If you are going to visit the center of Miami it is essential that you go to the Bayside Blaster and take one of the boats that offer a panoramic tour of the entire coast of Miami, as well as downtown Miami. In addition, all these boat routes through Miami are narrated in more than one language and are really exciting, because precisely, slow do not go during the tour.
Bayfront Park
Another very important attraction to visit downtown Miami is Bayfront Park, a fascinating walk along the seashore, right next to Bayside Blaster, where you will also be able to enjoy the best views of Biscayne Bay and the port of Miami. In addition, if you follow the walk south crossing the Philippe Starck’s River you will find a grass field, below it is the Miami Circle, an archaeological site where the Tequesta Indians lived about 2000 years ago. Anyway, it cannot be visited yet, as they are still rebuilding the site. But it will certainly be a good place to visit in Downtown.
Biscayne Boulevard and the Miami History Museum
In downtown Miami, after passing Biscayne Boulevard you will find the oldest Catholic church in the city built in 1896. It is also interesting to know that for many years this was the most important religious center of the city. So if you are going to visit Downtown Miami you can go to know this emblematic church.
Also an interesting place to visit in downtown Miami is the South Florida Historical Museum or the Miami Art Museum. These two museums are good places to spend a couple of hours enjoying the cultural life of downtown Miami. In the South Florida Historical Museum you will not only find the most valuable pieces of the history of South Florida, but also nourishes very interesting temporary exhibitions.
What is there to do at Downtown Miami?

See a museum in Downtown Miami
In addition to beaches, party spots and shopping, Miami has many more things to offer. We have decided to collect some information about the main museums you can see in downtown Miami:
Phillip and Patricia Frost Science Museum
A museum for everyone in Miami
The new Miami Science Museum promises to be a meeting point for all those who want to learn something about the world around us and offer fun and interactive exhibitions suitable for all audiences.
In this museum it will be possible to discover from the Ocean to the Everglades and from human cells to the great outer space in an exciting journey through the history of humanity and the most important scientific advances. The best? All information panels are in both English and Spanish, so no one misses anything.
Strengths of the Miami Science Museum
This new museum, like its predecessor, emphasizes the education and training of new generations, as well as respect and conservation of the fauna and flora of Florida. This is done by letting the little ones dream and awakening their curiosity, letting them interact with the environment. For this we believe that these three points of the route will be key:
A unique aquarium in the world
The aquarium of the Fros Science Museum, with almost 2 million liters of salt water, has the particularity that it allows the visitor to observe the animals contained in it from 3 different heights: The Vista, The Dice and The Deep. Thus, it is possible to observe animals that move at different depths and in addition to seeing real specimens enjoy the most complete information on interactive screens that explain the particularities of each animal as well as the currents and everything you need to know to understand marine life in all its complexity.
A planetarium to dream of distant worlds
This planetarium will be after its opening one of the most modern in the United States. With space for 250 people, the hall will offer not only the best astronomical representations, it will also allow the viewer to travel to the great coral reef or discover the human body inside. This system equipped with 16 million colors and 8K images reproduced by six projectors and surround sound, promise to make each session a unique experience. In addition, the dome-shaped space is inclined 23.5 degrees to be able to observe its screen of more than 20 meters without obstacles “as if you were flying”.
Entrance Fee: Adults US24$ and Children (3 to 15 years) US15$
Perez Art Museum Miami
Miami’s Pérez Art Museum, or PAMM for short, is one of those must-sees in the city if you like modern and contemporary art. In addition to the permanent collection, the museum has certain temporary exhibitions that leave no one indifferent.
Important fact: if you are planning a visit to the Pérez Art Museum in Miami, we recommend that you do it on a good day, since one of the best things about this museum are the exteriors of it.
What’s in the Perez Art Museum in Miami?
More than with the paintings, the Pérez Art Museum in Miami surprises with the large number of sculptures and contemporary objects it has. Thanks to the distribution with thematic exhibitions, the PAMM visitor travels not only to Miami, but also to other parts of the world. It is a very spacious museum that stands out for its surprising selection of works of art.
The garden of the Pérez Art Museum of Miami (PAMM)
Much of it is due to the spectacular views of the bay, we could say that one of the highlights of the Perez Art Museum in Miami is undoubtedly its garden. Just for its spectacular terrace and its beautiful vertical gardens, carefully designed to beautify the whole museum, it is worth visiting the Pérez Art Museum in Miami.
Ticket Price: US15$
and the Miami Museum of Childhood. To get to them you can, as we have said before, use the services of Metromover to move around the center. You’ll find the first two museums very close to each other, in a place known as Museum Park.
Have a cocktail (mojito!) at Bayside Market
Not everything was going to be pure and hard activity. There is also time to rest and enjoy Bayside Market. Fancy a good mojito? Or maybe a caipirinha? Better a daiquiri? Enjoy a good cocktail and a well-deserved rest at the “Daiquiri Bar”, which is one of our favorite bars in the area.
Cross the Venetian Way
It may not be the fastest way to get to Miami Beach from Downtown Miami, but it’s impossible to have better views otherwise. You can cross the Venetian Way as you like, on foot, by bike or by car. Any option is great to discover on your own all those luxurious islands where celebrities live. Enjoy the sea views and everything that this area of Miami has to offer.
If you choose to walk the Venetian Way it will take about an hour. You will see that there are many people who usually go for a run there on the cycle path. By bike you will need about 20-30 minutes, depending on how many times you stop. Finally, by car it will take about 40 minutes to cross the Venetian Way completely due to speed restrictions. But don’t worry, we assure you that the views are worth it. Note: on foot and by bicycle you do not have to pay anything to cross the Venetian Way, but By car it is necessary to pay a toll of $ 2.25. And you can only pay with the Sun Pass.
Where to eat in Downtown Miami?
Most of the options that we are going to detail below you will find very close to the Bayside Marketplace. Of course, another option you have is to let yourself be seduced by the fast food places and chains that you will find while you walk. The variety is the best thing about the area! Cuban, Colombian, Peruvian, Chilean restaurants: they all have a place here!
- Five Guys. Get ready to try the best burger in all of Florida. The prices are quite good, from $ 8 you can eat one of their famous burgers. Oh, and we assure you that the size of the burger leaves no one unsatisfied!
- Hard Rock Miami. I have to say that Hard Rock is not exactly my favorite restaurant, but I “had” to go see where the Hard Rock in Miami was because it is the shirt that I had seen the most throughout my life and I wanted to know exactly where people had gotten it. The food is nothing to write home about and has nothing different from any other Hard Rock in the world. Of course, if you have never been to the Hard Rock Café, then you can try what they can offer you in Bayside Marketplace.
- Hooters. You’ve probably heard of an American chain where waitresses wear tight clothes. It’s probably Hooters. I admit that the food of the place is great! In addition, it is a great place if you are a fan of any of the teams in the city of Miami, since there are several televisions with which you will watch different games while enjoying a hearty and delicious meal. Tip: Clearly specify the size you want of everything so there are no problems. Despite the dress code of the waitresses, we would not stop enjoying a good family lunch or dinner for that. It is a highly recommended site!
Where to go shopping in Downtown Miami?
Get ready to see several branded stores in Bayside Marketplace: Gap, Guess, Foot Locker, Zara, and Victoria’s Secret are just a few examples. The Bayside Marketplace area is great for when you’re on a cruise stop or when you’re planning to stay in the city for a few days. Near the Metromover station in Bayfront Park, you’ll find stores like Dress for Less -which have endless brands and items-, Whole Food, CVS, and other food and cosmetics chains.
