Downtown Miami

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Downtown Miami, is the central business district of Miami-Dade County and Miami, Florida. Points of interest in downtown include the Carnival Center for the Performing Arts, the Bayside Marketplace, and the American Airlines Arena. Brickell Avenue/Biscayne Boulevard is the main north-south road in the downtown area, and Flagler Street is the main east-west road.

Downtown Miami is divided into distinct areas separated by the Miami River: The government and shopping district of northern downtown and the Brickell Financial District.

Public Transportation in the downtown area is used more than in any other part of Miami. The Metromover train system runs 3 lines through downtown, and the Metrorail, Dade County's heavy rail system, makes 3 stops in the downtown area.

This is the view from the Hotel Intercontinental Miami looking north at night, in 2002. Biscayne Boulevard is the prominent street street in the middle and Bayside and the American Airlines Arena can be seen to the right. This photo was taken before the recent construction boom in Miami, and as you see, many of the buildings that currently occupy the downtown area are missing in this photo.
