My first trip to Miami was incredibly peaceful but filled with art, food, and adventure. There were several places I visited that were worth the experience. It rained every day during my Miami stay except the very last day, but the rain just opened doors to explore a lot of food, art, and indoor activities. If you need a few things to do during your stay in Miami, Florida, check out these places! 

Wynwood Walls

It is an Urban Graffiti Art Museum located in Midtown, Miami. The Wynwood Walls is a significant art statement created by Tony Goldman in 2009. Tony was inspired by graffiti and street art which, he believes was underappreciated and not respected. He wanted to place more light and give the movement more attention and respect by presenting it in a way that had not been done before.

Illusions Museum- Amingo/Lummus

The Illusions Museum is a 3D Illusion and Art experience for all ages! It is also an interactive experience that will spark your fantasy and imagination. The Museum has over 40 illusions inspired by cartoons, art, current events, movies, and so much more! The Museum is also the home of “Smash It!”, a place where you can blow off steam, break a few things, and let go of heavy emotions. 

The Local HouseMiami Beach – South Point

Loca House is a boutique hotel with a carefree representation. It is located away from all of the hustle and bustle of Miamis beach in South Point. It is known as an ocean-side retreat; however, even if you don’t stay there, you must check out the menu in the downstairs restaurant. 

Sugar Factory

Sugar Factory is very popular, whimsical, and well known for its fun, flavor-filled drinks. The menu offers everything throughout the day, from pancakes, crepes, salads, and burgers to delightful desserts. 

There are cocktails mixed with sweet treats and spiked with adult beverages. The Sugar Factory has signature alcohol-infused smoking candy goblets, such as the Berry Bliss, a scintillating mix of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. 

Crema Gourmet Espresso Bar- Oceanfront

Crema was one of my favorite coffee bars while in Miami. Crema is a local favorite with a menu filled with smoothies, coffee, teas, sandwiches, pasta, and more! It’s the perfect place for breakfast or happy hour; it guarantees a friendly ambiance and quality food and beverages all day long. Crema is dedicated to giving excellent customer service, providing customers with fresh ingredients and a gourmet experience. 

Bodega- West Avenue

If you want some excellent food, great margarita’s, and a chill night, Bodega is the place to be; it’s known for its zesty tacos & tequila drinks. It has been known as one of the hottest Mexican restaurants in America.

Ocean Drive, Miami

Ocean drive gives your everything from a day on the beach, Art Deco, restaurant and cafe dining, and several fantastic beach views from all angles. If you want to be in the hype, Ocean Drive between 1st and 15th street is worth checking out; also, there’s a variety of boutique-style hotels to choose from if you want to be within walking distance from the ocean, restaurants, and nightlife.
