North of Downtown

The areas north of Miami Beach and Downtown are an irreconcilable juxtaposition of urban sprawl and urban chic, of downtrodden ethnic and high-flying elite. Little is actually scenic, although the beaches are among the area’s greatest. Indeed, much of northern Miami has the reputation of a slum. There’s local color to be discovered, but the vibes can be less than welcoming, and you should be careful. Still, some of Greater Miami’s most scintillating sights, including one of the oldest buildings in the Americas, and fine dining can also be found here.

Take extra care when visiting Opa-Locka and Little Haiti, and when driving through Hialeah. Avoid Liberty City and Overtown. For personal security tips See Ways to Stay Healthy and Safe
