About Wynwood

Wynwood is a former warehouse district north of Downtown. Today it is best known for street murals, galleries and the Wynwood Walls.

Old factories now hold breweries, restaurants and shops. New office and apartment buildings keep rising. Weekends and art nights draw big crowds, so parking can be hard.

Wynwood guide

Murals and art

  • Street murals. You do not need a ticket to see most of the art. Murals cover walls on blocks around NW 2nd Avenue, and many change often, especially before Miami Art Week in December.
  • Wynwood Walls. The Wynwood Walls on NW 2nd Avenue is a gated outdoor museum of murals and sculpture. It needs a paid ticket. Miami-Dade residents can check for free resident offers.

Food, breweries and nightlife

Old warehouses now hold some of Miami's first craft breweries, coffee shops and food halls. Weekday mornings are quiet. Friday and Saturday nights bring big crowds for dinner, music and bars.

Where Wynwood is headed

Wynwood keeps changing. The old art and warehouse district is adding offices, tech firms and apartment towers.

Carnegie Mellon University's announced move into Wynwood is the biggest sign yet. As a major university joins the galleries and breweries, the neighborhood will keep changing and finding its vibe — somewhere between street-art roots and a new role as a tech and creative hub.

Parking and getting around

  • Parking. Street parking is paid by app, and rates go up on nights and weekends. Enforcement is strict, and cars do get towed.
  • Rideshare. NW 2nd Avenue can crawl on weekend nights. Ask to be dropped a block away to skip the jam.
  • Nearby. Wynwood sits next to Midtown and the Design District, and close to Edgewater. Midtown is an easy walk.
