Miami is the home of swaying palm trees, crowded beaches that reflect the beauty of the Atlantic, and everlasting parties that encompass the vibrancy of a city that never sleeps. When one thinks of Miami, one thinks of these things. But at its heart, Miami is home to so much more.
Miami, a city of cultures and a gateway of nations, is simply the prime example of an artistic melting pot—one that is always on the making, with each of its citizens adding more ingredients and flavors each day.
Wynwood, one of Miami’s most unique districts, clearly reflects that.
From intricately painted murals, to graffiti that can be found even on the sidewalks, to restaurants filled with live music and international cuisine, Wynwood is an art-lover’s mecca, an essential stop for tourists, and an enjoyable visit for Miami natives.
The district, with its famous “Wynwood Walls,” is a place for friends, families, couples, children—for everyone.
Wynwood is simply Miami’s art heart, beating unceasingly as creativity and culture find a hub in its veins.
