Downtown Miami
Downtown Miami dazzles from a distance. The skyline is fluid, thanks to the sheer number of sparkling glass high-rises between Biscayne Boulevard and the Miami River. Business is the key to downtown Miami's daytime bustle. Traffic congestion from the high-rise offices and expensive parking tend to keep the locals away by day; however, downtown has become a nighttime hotspot in recent years.
The free, 23-mi, elevated commuter system known as the Metromover runs inner and outer loops through downtown and to nearby neighborhoods south and north. Many attractions are conveniently located within about a few blocks of a station.
Note that you can combine a visit to this neighborhood with one to Little Havana, which is just southwest of downtown.
