Day 7 in Miami

Downtown Miami offers big city shopping with a cosmopolitan flair. Department stores and emporiums selling clothes, electronics, sporting goods and more fill the Historic Downtown Miami Shopping District from SE 1st Street to NE 3rd Street. The sounds of Spanish and Portuguese are heard and the aroma of Cuban coffee wafts through the air. Downtown is also the place for jewelry, with dazzling displays in the stores and workshops that make up one of the largest jewelry districts in the U.S.

On Biscayne Boulevard, Bayside Marketplace next to Bayfront Park, borrows from the past as it looks to the future. The open-air shopping and entertainment complex built on the site of Pier 5 fishing pier, one of Miami’s most popular tourist spots in the 1950s, is now a waterfront destination for gift shopping, dining and enjoying outdoor performances. Here you can browse through shops and pushcarts selling everything from T-shirts to one-of-a-kind souvenirs.
