Downtown bayfront: parks, Pérez and Frost
Two museums on the water, a park between them, and the Metromover to get around for free.
Downtown Miami's bayfront was rebuilt around Museum Park: the Pérez Art Museum with its hanging gardens over the water and the Frost Science museum with the aquarium and the planetarium next door. Start at Bayfront Park, walk north along the bay, and use the free Metromover back.
