While Downtown Miami offers a rigid, yet invigorating work and play scene, the urban center also holds its own share of cultural experiences. The city’s strong diversity is represented through its variety of international dining options to its broad range of visitors from all around the world that flock to the cultural haven of Downtown Miami. One of Miami’s key attractions amongst visitors is the Port of Miami, located in the Downtown area, which serves more than 3 million passengers per year and constitutes the number one cruise port in the world. Guests and residents alike can enjoy the stimulating cultural experiences offered by the likes of the Metro Dade Cultural Center, the Miami Children’s Museum, the James L. Knight Center, the Miami Art Museum, and the Carnival Center for the Performing Arts. For the avid sports lover, visit the American Airlines Arena, home to the beloved Miami Heat basketball team and located next to Bayside Marketplace, a 20-acre waterfront retail complex that has become one of South Florida’s number one tourist destinations.
