- The Chow'sLas Vegas, NV160 contributionsHanging out before our cruise on Icon of the Sea !! Stayed close to port Miami. Close by place to visit. Get some Ice cream . Ride the skyview .Written September 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BigMerkGlasgow, UK2,707 contributionsI visited here both days I was in Miami. It’s a nice spot to walk but it’s not a huge area. It leads to Bayside Marketplace from downtown and overlooks the water and port. There was some evidence of rough sleeping in the park but that’s not a shock and it wasn’t intrusive.Written February 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jonathan C.La Jolla, California, USA520 contributionsFun spot to walk around and explore local yummy Cuban cuisine and shops.

- Jacquie JGuildford, UK32 contributionsFabulous way to get a snapshot of Miami central. Clean, good signage and maps and helpful staff.

- Judith M3 contributionsThe Van Gogh Immersive Experience was fantastic, mind blowing, unforgettable! I didn’t want to leave. In addition, the Olympia Theater was fascinating and gorgeous. What a treasure! I would love to have a tour and learn more about the history of the place.Written January 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- A TNaples, FL1,384 contributionsThe theater had an easy way to enter with several workers scanning tickets and explaining where our seats were. The seats were comfortable with plenty of leg room. The placement of the seats allowed us to see the play because the slope was great enough to not have other people’s heads in the way.
The was closed captioning and excellent sound.
The theater was beautiful.Written June 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Wombling_Free_7548Bristol, UK2,138 contributionsYou can’t go in at the moment, but it is worth admiring the architecture from the outside (it really stands out amongst the shiny new skyscrapers) and reflecting on its place in history, welcoming Cuban people.Written January 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tricia BGulf Breeze, FL5 contributionsExcellent Hotel, great service, great views and good food! This hotel was chosen for an overnight stay before leaving on a cruise. Reasonable price for the area and great views from the pool and the room. The service here was excellent and so was the food! We will definitely return for our next stay. Yes you need transportation for any activity outside the hotel and that can be expensive. Convenient for airport transition or going directly to the cruise port.Written March 17, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TheExplorerFamilySomerset, NJ7,155 contributionsThis refurbished building is an Episcopal Church that has been on the US National Register of Historical Places since October 1980. It is the oldest church located in the original city limits of Miami. It is very large on the inside and can seat up to 1100 worshipers. Its architecture is Mediterranean in appearance.
The interior is very clean (as a Church should be) and has beautiful mosaics which depict the Six Days of Creation and the Stations of the Cross. The gorgeous Stained Glass windows illustrate various events in the life of Jesus.
The city of Miami grew around this building. It is quite a large Church, but appears so small in comparison to the massive skyscrapers surrounding it.
We stopped here for a short while since we were in the area. We went inside, not just to admire its famous stained glass windows, but also to simply stand there on the grounds of this very historic Church.There was nobody there when we visited, so we were able to examine everything in detail.
It was our tour guide who piqued our interest with the stories about the surrounding area.Written March 13, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HendersonedFlorence, OR933 contributionsLots of rooms in a pretty nicely furnished the giant auditorium is showing it’s age but overall nice facilities some of the restrooms on the third floor look like they haven’t been remodeled since the 70s but everything downstairs is quite niceWritten October 13, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BrakiWorldTravelerBelgrade, Serbia19,452 contributionsWhen I was last time in Miami, 12 y ago, I was advised strictly not to go to Little Haiti. It was a dangerous neighborhood with a high crime rate.
This time I put it on my list, as I read about it becoming a hip area with local culture. It was also on our way as it's just little bit north from the magnificent Wynwood which was planned for that day.
Unfortunately, we wasted our time. Apart from few murals and graphiti (which looked underwhelming after the Wynwood) everything else was quite ordinary and pretty much waste of time.
So, save your time and gas for future, maybe it will become new Wynwood some day.Written February 5, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The omni loop metro is free and will take you to museum park.Written May 5, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tourist59815624 contributionsThis complex was designed by the late architect Phillip Johnson. It is home to the History Miami museum and to the main branch of the public library. The library displays works by artists Purvis Young and Serge Toussaint, among others. History Miami is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays but otherwise is worth visiting, especially with a guided tour on the weekend.
Due to the downtown location, there are a fair number of homeless people around but there also is a fair amount of security so it does not feel unsafe during the day. Just use your street sense.
There are some good small restaurants within walking distance; see reviews on Trip Advisor.
Note that the center NO LONGER houses the Miami Art Museum, which morphed into the Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) and moved to a waterfront location.Written January 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
