Where To Shop In Downtown Miami

From storied jewelers to trendy boutiques, bookstores and popular retailers, the shopping scene in Downtown Miami has something for everyone. Here’s a guide to where to browse on a leisurely afternoon of window shopping or a full-on buying spree – and where to eat, drink and play along the way.

Miami Worldcenter

A 7-acre open-air shopping and entertainment district, Miami Worldcenter is located steps from Biscayne Bay and the Kaseya Center. It’s easily accessible via Brightline and the Metromover. Enjoy strolling along the tree-lined walkways dotted with a vast array of shops.

Shopping

Shopping at Miami Worldcenter means one moment you’re perusing luxury timepieces and fine jewelry at Timeluxe, the next you’re scouring Posman Books for unique bestsellers alongside gifts and stationery. Popular brand-name stores are there, too; take your pick from the likes of Sephora, Lululemon, Savage X Fenty, Apple and Ray-Ban.

Dining, Lifestyle and Entertainment

Your visit can easily transition from early morning to late night. Get in a workout at Club Studio before spending time at the Museum of Ice Cream, home to over a dozen interactive spaces that pay homage to the sweet treat, including a massive Sprinkle Pool. Lucky Strike is a popular 28-lane bowling alley with an arcade, food and drinks.

Dining options range from globally inspired bites to brunch, lunch and late-night concepts. Cool off with Go Greek's froyo, cap off an afternoon with Italian food at Serafina, or end your day with an indulgent steakhouse dinner at Maple & Ash.

Brickell City Centre

Brickell City Centre is considered one of the best places to go shopping in Miami. The 9-acre mixed-use development covers three blocks and 5.4 million square feet. Aside from residential towers and the EAST Miami hotel, the main draw is the central shopping center that has its own MetroMover station.

Look up to see the Climate Ribbon, an elevated architectural trellis that provides shade, promotes air circulation and gathers rainwater.

For Fashion Lovers

You can easily spend a day at Brickell City Centre, thanks to its selection of luxury brands sprinkled with classics and new-to-market labels. H&M, Zara and a three-story Saks Fifth Avenue, are popular. Additional favorites include Lacoste, Chanel, Mango, Sur la Table, Cole Haan, Boss and Richard Mille.

Entertainment

Movie night gets an upgrade at CMX CinéBistro. Settle into a plush recliner and order dinner, cocktails and, of course, popcorn right from your seat. Alternatively, head to Puttshack, where mini golf gets a high-tech twist. The colorful courses keep score for you, so you can focus on sinking putts with friends and family before grabbing a bite at the bar.

Dining

Food and drink options run the gamut: There’s authentic Italian cuisine at Casa Tua Cucina; Japanese and Latin-inspired dishes at Pubbelly Sushi; and the always popular Tacology, slinging flavorful tacos and thirst-quenching margaritas. For happy hour and dinner, consider The Henry and its menu of tiny ’tinis. Check out Sugar for Asian-influenced cocktails and tapas at this indoor-outdoor rooftop located 40 floors high, above the EAST Miami.

Bayside Marketplace

Set along Biscayne Bay, Bayside Marketplace pairs waterfront views with shopping, dining and live entertainment. The area is a popular launch point for several boat cruises and sightseeing tours. Bayside also features the Skyviews Miami observation wheel, towering 176 feet above the glittering skyline.

Shopping

Bayside is known for its long aisles of indoor-outdoor vendors and retailers, including Claire's, Build-A-Bear Workshop, Bath & Body Works, Lids, Foot Locker, Victoria’s Secret and more. You’ll also find fun and casual items, such as resort wear, swimwear, gifts, sunglasses and souvenirs.

Dining and Nightlife

Keep things classic with Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., grab a slice at Ben’s Pizza, or make a beeline for the new Coyo Taco. Kuba Cabana offers Cuban flavors and a lively atmosphere, while Daiquiri Bar is a go-to for something fruity and frozen.

On the Water

Bayside’s Miamarina makes it an easy launch point for getting out on the water. Book a fishing charter or Jet Ski tour, cruise past Millionaire’s Row and Star Island with Island Queen, or pick up the pace aboard Thriller Miami’s Speedboat Adventures, zipping across Biscayne Bay at speeds of up to 50 mph.

Flagler Street

Flagler Street has long been at the heart of Downtown Miami. These days, the historic corridor is entering a new era. Fresh off a major makeover, the street has wider sidewalks, more room for outdoor dining and a growing mix of restaurants, cafés and cultural spots breathing new life into one of the city’s oldest commercial districts.

Shopping

If you’re searching for a jewelry shop in Miami, you’ll have no shortage of options here. Flagler sits within Miami’s longtime Jewelry District, where jewelers, diamond dealers and watch specialists have done business for decades. Start at the historic Seybold Jewelry Building, where more than 300 jewelers are showcased across 10 floors.

Dining

Flagler’s dining scene has blossomed to include a handful of favorites, such as Motek, La Boulangerie Boul’Mich and Crema Gourmet. Fratesi’s pizza has garnered a loyal following for its tavern pies.
