DOWNTOWN MIAMI
One of the features that sets Miami apart from other big cities is
the way it integrates itself with the water. To witness this, look no
further than the downtown waterfront area. Whether you're interested
in history, shopping, art or entertainment, you can't miss this scenic
part of town!
Downtown Miami pulsates with activity as commercial,
cultural and leisure pursuits come together. Innovative Downtown Miami
skyscrapers compete for your attention, while historic shopping
arcades and storefronts packed with merchandise evoke Miami’s
origins as a trading town. Downtown Miami department stores and
emporiums offer big city shopping with a cosmopolitan flair, while
Downtown Miami's diversity inspires dining delights in a variety of
culinary styles.
BRICKELL AVENUE
Since the time William and Mary Brickell (founding father and mother
of Greater Miami and the Beaches) named a tree-lined thoroughfare
after their homestead, Brickell Avenue has been associated with
wealth and prestige.
Now the international banking and business center of Greater Miami
south of the Miami River is taking on a new role as a vibrant place
to stay, dine and reside. Luxury condominium towers, hotels and the
tallest building in Florida are transforming Brickell Avenue’s skyline.
And, instead of rolling up the sidewalks at night, Brickell is thronged
after hours with residents and visitors dining in the area’s fine restaurants
or shopping in new neighborhood stores.
