Fun things to do and best attractions in Wynwood, Miami’s art district
Wynwood has transformed into one of the world’s-hippest neighborhoods. Until relatively recently, it was mainly a warehouse district. Some bohemians and artists moved in and parlayed the graffiti-covering the warehouse walls into an-expansive display of serious street art, creating one of the most unique arts districts anywhere.

Spanning block after block of avant-garde imagery, there’s nothing quite like it. With high-concept art applied to utilitarian buildings, the vibe in Wynwood is supremely ironic yet completely authentic. Stroll Wynwood Walls, a delightful outdoor gallery envisioned and brought to life by South Beach developer Tony Goldman.
The whole neighborhood boasts more than 70 art galleries, museums and art collections. Park your car and walk in any direction to discover captivating imagery, both inside the many showrooms and outside on the streets.
Dining in Wynwood is its own event. Restaurants here offer a veritable feast. You can eat indoors among countless works of art or enjoy a front-row view of the Wynwood Walls while dining on an outdoor patio.
