Wynwood -the Mecca of Graffiti!

There are no monuments at Wynwood nor nice parks nor bay views, but for anyone who enjoys street art, this neighborhood is a gift for the eyes!

Wynwood is located North of Miami, roughly outlined by North 20th Street to the south, I-195 to the north, I-95 to the west and the Florida East Coast Railway to the east. Its two sections are known as the Art District and the Fashion District, each with a number of art galleries and clothes shops.

However the most impressive attractions are the dozens of graffiti drawings and specially the murals drawn all around the neighborhood using as canvas the walls of abandoned buildings or participant warehouses. Every year, on the occasion of a the famous Miami Art Basel Show, street artists from all around the world are invited to express themselves freely on those walls.

It's worth taking the car and go around, stopping here and there to take some pictures and jumping in the car again to discover the next work of art.                    


Practical Tips

Possible combos:
There is a church nearby, across I95, called Corpus Christi.

Lunch
There are plenty of restaurants in the area, especially around Miami Ave, and around Biscayne Boulevard. If you have a pack lunch there is a park nearby - Morningside Park. Enter through NE 58th Street and then NE Bayshore Dr.
