The Freedom Tower is a striking counterpoint to Miami’s glassy skyline—a 1920s Mediterranean Revival landmark that now serves as a museum and cultural center in the heart of downtown. Once the processing center for Cuban refugees in the 1960s and often called the “Ellis Island of the South,” it’s a powerful place to step into Miami’s immigrant history through exhibits, art, and personal stories.

Centered around Calle Ocho, the neighborhood hums with Cuban cafés, cigar shops, ventanitas pouring tiny cups of strong coffee, and locals playing dominoes in Máximo Gómez Park.

Where you go when you want a quieter, more natural side of Miami. Just a short drive from the city, it trades high-rises for dunes, palms, and a long, relaxed stretch of beach that’s consistently ranked among the best in the U.S. Spend the day swimming in calm water, biking shady paths, and climbing the historic 1825 lighthouse for wide-open views of the Atlantic and Biscayne Bay.

Florida’s largest urban park sits in North Miami where mangrove waterways meet a quiet cove of Biscayne Bay. Kayak or paddleboard through shaded channels, cycle miles of well-maintained mountain-bike trails, then pause at the sandy beach or reserve a pavilion. Access is easy, wildlife is close, and the mix of water and green space makes it a wonderful day outdoors. Visit Oleta River State Park
