Join us for a walking tour including some of the most popular murals to the best restaurants in town.  Wynwood, a neighborhood located in the City of Miami, is renowned for its vibrant arts scene, eclectic street art, trendy eateries, and unique atmosphere. Dating back to its early development, the area was initially known for manufacturing and warehouses. In the early 2000s, a group of developers and artists began transforming Wynwood into an arts district and becoming an incubator of a generational phenomenon. The Wynwood Walls project, initiated in 2009 by Tony Goldman, played a crucial role in turning the area into a global destination for street art and contemporary culture. Former industrial spaces were repurposed into art galleries, studios, restaurants, and trendy shops. The influx of artists and the cultural renaissance in Wynwood led to gentrification, with the area experiencing significant urban renewal. Ongoing urban planning efforts and community initiatives aim to support transportation needs in Wynwood, ensuring that it remains accessible, vibrant, and connected for residents and visitors alike. Join us for a three-hour tour for a condensed yet immersive experience of this vibrant neighborhood. The tour will introduce you to some of its history (including the 1990 riot!), art, handpicked culinary experiences, and transportation features in the neighborhood.
