Things to Do
Embark on a captivating journey through Wynwood, a gem nestled within Miami that stands as the Best Tourist Spot. This neighbourhood historically rich enclave that has undergone a remarkable transformation, making it one of the best tourist attractions in the city. Originally known as Wyndwood, this inner city district was once a working-class residential area closely tied to the Garment District. Over time, Wynwood experienced neglect and even racial riots, but it has since evolved into a dynamic hub of culture and creativity.
In the early 2000s, artist studios began to emerge, signaling the neighborhood's artistic resurgence. As neighboring areas like the Design District saw increasing property values, developers turned their attention to Wynwood. The pivotal moment arrived in 2009 with the opening of the Wynwood Walls, a renowned outdoor art gallery that catalyzed the area's artistic scene. For the following years, galleries flourished, and the monthly 2nd Saturday Wynwood Art Walks attracted ever-growing crowds.
As attendance and interest surged, the neighborhood experienced rapid development. While this brought about multistory office and residential buildings, it also led to rising rents that eventually pushed out some galleries. However, the allure of Wynwood persists, with a continuous proliferation of colorful murals adorning its streets. The area's character continues to evolve, with the introduction of new restaurants and shifts in the urban landscape. Amidst these changes, the spirit of creativity thrives, making Wynwood an exciting and vibrant destination that celebrates art, culture, and community.

I would recommend taking the guided tour for an extra eight dollars. Kata did an amazing job on the guided tour and she really knows a lot of the history about the graffiti culture.

The museum was cool and they even give several discounts for different professions. The artwork was beautiful and spaced out very well.
