Wynwood Walls

In the midst of rusted warehouses and concrete blah, there's a pastel-and-graffiti explosion of urban art. Wynwood Walls is a collection of murals and paintings laid out over an open courtyard that invariably bowls people over with its sheer color profile and unexpected location. What’s on offer tends to change with the coming and going of major arts events such as Art Basel, but it's always interesting stuff.

If you'd like to get the inside scoop on the latest murals, Wynwood Walls offers private walking tours ($25 per person) led by street artists (book online). If you're in the area on the second Saturday of the month, the Wynwood Art Walk is an especially great time to see the neighborhood at its most celebratory.
