Map of Downtown Miami with its neighborhoods and subdistricts.
'Downtown Miami' is the
central business district of
Miami-Dade County and
Miami,
Florida.
Brickell Avenue/
Biscayne Boulevard is the main north-south road in downtown, and
Flagler Street is the main east-west road in the Central Business District.
Downtown Miami is divided into four distinct areas,
Uptown, Park West, the Central Business District and
Brickell, and then themselves into many subdistricts. The northernmost area is
Uptown, which is divided into the subdistricts of the Omni,
Wynwood/Edgewater, and
Midtown. To the south of Uptown, is Park West, the Central Business District and south of the
Miami River,
Brickell, divided into Upper Brickell and Lower Brickell. The CBD is separated from Brickell by the
Miami River, NW 7th St marks the line between Park West and the CBD, the
Dolphin Expressway separates Park West and Uptown, and
Broadway splits Upper and Lower Brickell apart.
Public Transportation in the downtown area is used more than in any other part of Miami and is a vital part of downtown life. The
Metromover train system runs 3 lines through downtown (the downtown loop, the Omni loop, and the Brickell loop), and the
Metrorail,
Miami-Dade County's
heavy rail system, makes 3 stops in the downtown area at the
Overtown/Arena Station,
Government Center Station, and the
Brickell Station.
The Metrorail has stops throughout Miami as well as Miami-Dade County with connections to
Miami International Airport, all Miami-Dade County bus lines,
Tri-Rail and
Amtrak. The main bus station in downtown is located in Uptown, in the Omni.
Downtown Skyscrapers

The Miami skyline as of February 2007. With more
cranes visible on the skyline than buildings, it's an example of
Manhattanization.
