The 26 Best Things to Do in Miami

"A 120-year-old majestic oak tree serves as the focal point of this funky shopping destination just north of the Design District. The Bodhi "wish tree," as it’s called, is based on a Buddhist tradition of designating a tree to be used as the object of wishes and offerings. In addition to the tree, you’ll find gardens and walkways that connect the businesses and micro-boutiques that make up the neighborhood. It's free to visit, and offers a peaceful respite from Miami's sometimes frenetic urban core." - Sara Liss, Terry Ward

Um this was the most epic hidden gem spot ever. Like just incredible. You could spend an entire day here between coffee & matcha and lunch and bars. Overall stunning experience. Can’t wait to go back and try all the restaurants, sit in the peaceful oasis and mingle around the different bars in the evenings or on weekends!

Local spot for shopping, food, coffee, drinks, wellness and community ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Living in this area since 2019 it has been wonderful watching this concept grow and flourish! Enjoy many casual spots to eat, amazing designer and vintage boutiques and a variety of wellness establishments. Perfect place to spend a few hours or just enjoy a morning coffee/tea

The name "retail sanctuary" fits! This is a relaxing zen-like small intimate mall of boutique shops and has cool restaurants and beverage stores. It's unlike anything I've experienced. As a wedding and event DJ in Miami I was here to visit nearby Miami DJ Academy (since I'm always tryna step up my game lol 😆), and came here after a Google search for coffee near me brought me here. So glad I found it! This was voted Miami's best mall by the hip Miami New Times, and with good reason. Be sure to visit and relax here in the heart of Miami's Design District!

This charming oasis offers a unique atmosphere that feels both laid-back and inspiring. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, Upper Buena Vista is a must-see. The variety of spots here is impressive—from a Michelin-recommended restaurant serving exquisite dishes to a delightful ice cream food truck, cozy coffee shops, and lively bars. Each corner has its own charm, making it the perfect place to explore, relax, and indulge. The outdoor spaces, filled with lush greenery and artistic touches, create a serene yet dynamic environment.

Absolutely fantastic experience! Delicious food, great flavors, and generous portions. Friendly service, welcoming atmosphere, and everything felt thoughtfully prepared. A place I’d happily return to again and again. They have many shops to find food and that makes it a great place thank you

Upper Buena Vista is a true gem in Miami! This Turkish restaurant is a must-visit destination, offering not only spectacular views but also an incredible variety of Turkish delicacies, attractions, and drinks. The moment you step inside, you'll feel like you're in a museum, surrounded by stunning decor and artwork. The food is authentic and delicious, with plenty of options to choose from. However, be prepared for a higher price point and limited menu options, with smaller portion sizes. Despite these minor drawbacks, Upper Buena Vista earns a well-deserved 5 stars for its unique experience, stunning atmosphere, and exceptional service. Don't miss out on this hidden gem, but be aware of the prices and portion sizes!

Upper Bonavista is one of my favorite spots in Miami. it always gives me a bit of that Tulum vibe I love. We went back last night for sushi at Yoshi Sushi and had such a great evening. The sushi was incredibly fresh, the Monday night DJ added a fun touch, and the owners were genuinely sweet and welcoming. Highly recommend!
