You don’t have to be an art enthusiast to enjoy one of the trendiest places in Miami. Take it from someone who knows little to nothing about art and failed miserably in her college pottery class.

Living in Miami for my four years of undergrad was such an incredible experience. The nightlife, the beaches, the food and the culture never ceased to amaze me.

One of my favorite districts in Miami is Wynwood. Filled with graffitied walls, eclectic restaurants and a popular night scene, it is a place for everyone to enjoy a day of art and culture and an electric nightlife.

Here are my top choices when visiting Wynwood in Miami, Florida.

Art

Wynwood Walls: All around the Wynwood art district, you will see graffiti-covered walls. A once rundown neighborhood in the heart of Miami was revitalized in 2009 as a part of the design district expansion. The Wynwood Walls act as an outdoor art museum, covering more than 80,000 square feet of abandoned warehouse walls. The district became so popular that they opened Wynwood Doors. I would consider this the main hub and where I recommend you start your time in Wynwood. This section is a gated collection of whimsical graffiti and art showrooms that comes alive, day or night.

Pete Tunney Experience: Apart of the Wynwood Doors area, the Peter Tunney Experience is one of my favorite places in Wynwood. Most of this artwork is a modern take on impressionable words, and it’s a fun place to browse around and see a great and unusual collection of pop art.

Food

Coyo Taco: You can’t go to Wynwood without trying Coyo Taco. It is hailed as one of the best places for tacos in all of Miami and is open late into the night to serve you during your night out. I promise this will satisfy any 2AM taco craving.

Panther Coffee: A Wynwood OG, this coffee company is popular amongst locals and tourists. They have great coffee and delicious baked goods with an awesome front patio, which is perfect for people watching.

1-800-LUCKY: A 10,000 square food indoor-outdoor Asian food hall that is popular both day and night.

Entertainment

Wood Tavern: This is great for those who like a communal and laid back outdoor space. There are games and giant wooded bleachers that have seen a dance battle or two.

El Patio: This Wynwood-based Latin bar is super popular for those who like to have a Sunday Funday.

Wynwood Brewing Company: The first craft brewery in Miami!

J. Wakefield Brewing: Definitely a must-see if you are a fan of Star Wars.
