Wynwood

The Basics

Wynwood has evolved into a thriving center for cuisine, culture, and art. Take a guided walking tour focused on galleries and museums, or visit the Wynwood Walls street murals on a scooter or golf cart excursion. Foodie tours offer tastings at everything from classy restaurants to hole-in-the-wall establishments you would likely miss on your own.

Visiting the Wynwood Walls

Wynwood’s revitalization began with the Wynwood Walls, and the colorful murals displayed on old warehouses are one of the neighborhood’s main draws. Enter the site for free, then follow a winding path through a dynamic array of street art. You’ll find more art outside the park and in the Wynwood Doors exhibit area.

Is Wynwood worth a visit?

Yes, this bustling Miami neighborhood is worth a visit, especially if you’re an art enthusiast or just want to find a city nook with a hipster vibe. The Wynwood Walls are up there on Miami’s must-see attractions, and the surrounding streets with their colorful murals will enhance any visit.

How long is the Wynwood Walls tour?

The official Wynwood Walls tour run by the Wynwood Walls Museum lasts around 50 minutes. However, you can get more out of a visit to this kitsch Miami neighborhood by booking an extended option that combines the 50-minute tour with food, art, or Segway tours around the nearby streets.

Can you see the Wynwood Walls for free?

Yes, if you're a child under 12, you can see the Wynwood Walls for free (with a paying adult), but a ticket is required. Admission tickets can be reserved online on the official Wynwood Walls site. Tickets cover entry to two street art galleries, shops, and the wall’s murals.

Is Wynwood Art Walk still happening?

Yes, the Wynwood Art Walk takes place on the second Saturday of every month. It’s more of a block party than an organized walk, with galleries and shops opening their doors from early evening through the night. Food trucks, DJs, cocktails, games, and a market all add to the vibe.

What is the best day to go to Wynwood?

For crowd-free snaps next to colorful murals, weekdays are the quietest. But, if it’s a fun vibe you’re after, Saturday is likely the best day of the week in Wynwood. If you can time your visit for the second Saturday of the month for Wynwood Art Walk, that’s even better.

Why is Wynwood so popular?

Wynwood has a reputation as one of the world’s biggest outdoor art galleries, featuring vibrant works by artists from all over the globe. As well as the neighborhood’s artistic scene, the area is known as a hot spot for exciting restaurants, bars, nightlife, and shops—with something to entertain everyone.
