A Guide to the Colorful Brickell, Miami

Walk along the Bay! Start at the Miami Circle (A National Historic Landmark and Sacred Site for Indigenous People) behind the W Hotel and walk the path down the Bay!

You can walk over the bridge to Brickell Key Island and take a lovely walk around the Island, watch the boats go by or catch the sunrise.

Simpson Park is on S Miami Ave, the entrance is on SW 17th Road. You can walk or take the metro over to the last stop in Brickell and walk a few blocks. In the middle of the city is a magical old-growth forest and nature preserve. This is what Brickell looked like over 100 years ago, when it was still nature! It is open from 8am - 3pm. If you are the first person in the park, the path is going to be covered with giant spider webs (and giant spiders). Definitely check it out later in the day because it is really beautiful!

Take a yoga class at Bayfront Park!

Hop onto the free monorail taking you from Brickell through Downtown. You can watch the city go by beneath you and ride around for fun!

Spend the day at the East pool. The perfect relaxing day! There are four of them, and you can float under the sun surrounded by beautiful architecture. There are two swimming pools, one in the sun and one in the shade with big waterfall back massage jets. They also have a hot tub and a cold plunge pool.

Explore the Brickell City Centre! The most beautiful, sustainable and luxurious indoor/outdoor mall! There are plenty of places to eat, shops and even a luxury movie theater.

Take a Sunday morning yoga class on the rooftop at SLS Brickell Hotel.

Rent a boat to drive you down the river and around the bay. Don't forget the jet skis!

Day Trips

Rent a car and drive down to the Florida Keys.

Take an Uber to South Beach, 20–45 minutes away, depending on traffic. Pro Tip: if there is an event going on downtown causing a lot of traffic, take the metro to the Museum Park Metro station and grab an Uber from there.

Head west into Little Havanna for some authentic Cuban culture.

North of Brickell is the best nightlife in the world! Spend a night at E11even or Club Space!

Wynwood is a beautiful neighborhood covered in art! During the day, you can walk around and look at art and have a lovely meal in one of the many trendy restaurants. At night, you can go dancing bar-crawl style — except it's night club after nightclub. Lots of reggaeton!

Coyo Taco: You can watch them make fresh tortillas while you wait for your order or grab a margarita at the bar.

American Social: A fun spot to go for drinks and dinner. Right on the river, you can enjoy the colorful lights from the trains in the sky and the boats going by.

Sugar: East Hotel's rooftop bar and restaurant. Perfect after a day spent by the pool!

Brickell Food Trucks: Right on the River Walk Trail, food trucks park along the bay and you can sit outside on picnic tables and enjoy the view!

La Sandwicheria: Grab a delicious sandwich, you can even order a croissant as bread! Sit along the river or hop on the metro mover and have a picnic at Bayfront Park!

Blackbird Ordinary: Super fun place to go dance all night with lovely cocktails. Tuesday is ladies night. Get there early to beat the line!
