Miami's Depression-defying skyscraper now hosts its grandest parties. The Alfred I. duPont Building at 169 East Flagler Street, completed in 1939 for 2.5 million dollars, was the first skyscraper raised in Miami after the 1926 bust and the Dade County Courthouse of 1928 - a 17-story Modern tower with Art Deco embellishments by Jacksonville architects Marsh and Saxelbye, built as headquarters for the Florida National Bank that financier Alfred I. duPont had organised in 1931, and dedicated to his.....

The only club in America where the party legally never has to stop was built on two blocks of downtown Miami nobody else wanted. Club Space at 34 Northeast 11th Street opened in March 2000, the vision of Miami native Louis Puig, who spent three months lobbying city commissioners to designate a two-by-two block slice of the derelict Park West district as a 24-hour entertainment zone with round-the-clock liquor licences. New York legend Danny Tenaglia christened the decks at the original 142 NE 11.....

Miami's best-kept nightlife secret hides inside its most famous club. Floyd, at 34 Northeast 11th Street in downtown Miami, occupies an intimate room within the Club Space building - a 21st-century speakeasy bathed in red light, with the DJ booth planted in the middle of the floor and no stage at all: acts perform at eye level, surrounded by the crowd. The room emerged in the mid-2010s as the Space and Link Miami Rebels team - the operators who turned the 24-hour district around Northeast 11th .....

Devoted to the layered story of South Florida and the Caribbean, HistoryMiami Museum is the region's leading institution for local history and a Smithsonian affiliate. Tracing its roots to a historical society founded in 1940, the museum occupies a prominent building in the downtown cultural plaza designed by the noted architect Philip Johnson, its arches and open courtyard offering a Mediterranean-inspired refuge in the city centre. The permanent galleries chart the area's history from its ear.....

Prince, Bad Bunny, two Miss Universe pageants and a hemispheric summit of presidents have all played the same wedge-shaped room on the Miami River. The James L. Knight Center, at 400 SE 2nd Avenue in downtown Miami, opened on 2 October 1982 as the city's convention-and-concert hybrid - a 4,569-seat theatre grafted onto the Hyatt Regency hotel. The complex was Miami's bid to steal the convention business from a declining Miami Beach: a 110-million-dollar city project named for the Knight newspap.....

Just west of downtown Miami, Little Havana is the cultural soul of the city's Cuban-American community and one of its most vibrant neighbourhoods. Settled by waves of Cuban exiles from the 1960s onward, and later enriched by arrivals from across Central and South America, the district pulses with the music, food, language and political passion of the Caribbean and Latin America, offering visitors an immersive sense of place found nowhere else in the country. Its spine is Calle Ocho, or Eighth S.....

Set on the site of the former Orange Bowl in the Little Havana neighbourhood, loanDepot Park is the home of Miami's Major League Baseball team and one of the most architecturally distinctive ballparks in the sport. Completed in 2012 and known as Marlins Park until a later renaming, it was conceived as a thoroughly modern, climate-controlled stadium suited to South Florida's heat and frequent storms, a sharp departure from the open-air bowl the team shared for its first two decades. Its defining.....

Running the length of South Beach's famous oceanfront, Lummus Park is the broad ribbon of palm-dotted green that separates the Art Deco hotels of Ocean Drive from the sand and surf of the Atlantic. Named for the Lummus brothers, the pioneering bankers and developers who sold the beachfront to the city for public use in the early twentieth century, the park has anchored Miami Beach's seafront life for more than a century. The park itself is a long, landscaped strip planted with coconut palms and.....

From the street it could pass for a hole in the wall - inside, it is the purpose-built mid-size concert hall Miami spent a decade wishing someone would build. Midline, at 2221 NW Miami Court beside the Arlo Hotel in Wynwood, opened in January 2026 with Freddie Gibbs playing the first ticketed show. The founders are Miami nightlife royalty: Eric Fuller - former co-owner of Club Space - and Treehouse Miami founder Jeremy Waks spent years on permits, zoning and acoustic construction to answer a do.....

More a playground for the senses than a conventional museum, the Museum of Ice Cream in Miami is a brightly coloured, immersive experience built around the universal joy of frozen treats. Part of a brand that began as a wildly popular pop-up and grew into permanent venues in several cities, the attraction trades glass cases and labels for interactive installations designed to delight, surprise and, above all, invite a photograph at every turn. Visitors move through a series of themed rooms that.....
