Whether you’re leaving to go on a cruise from Miami or you’re visiting but don’t have a lot of time to spare, what should you do? Go to the Art Deco District, of course!
Also known as the Architectural District, The Art Deco District is in the south beach neighborhood with over 900 historic buildings in this area. Fun fact: Gianni Versace used to live here!
It’s about a 15-minute drive to/from the cruise port, so it’s a great area to check out and have a mini-adventure before embarking on your bigger adventure!
Get there early and you’ll beat the crowds, of course. There are tons of local cafes for you to have breakfast at too. Or if you “like what you know”, there are well-known names like Starbucks as well.
In just our few short hours there we still managed to pack in a bunch of photos (but are you even surprised?) and hopefully, they give you a glimpse into what the Art Deco district is like.
Colorful buildings. Interesting details. Cute decor…you name it! Think retro and fabulous. But enough talking from me. I want the pictures to do the talking!
Miami was the start and end of our cruise journey and I’ve still got more travel content headed your way! In the meantime, check out our adventures in Half Moon Cay and Nassau!
I love the Art Deco period! The buildings and all are so interesting and beautiful. Such a great place!!
It really is so pretty!
Okay, quick question NOT as related to Miami, but more about fashion: is your dress more of a deep, sultry green like in your photos – or is it the super vibrant green on the retailer’s website. Because I WANT (but only if it actually is deeper green haha). Also, MIA is fantastic. The art district is like none other. And if you get to go into Wynwood, I think it’s even cooler. I haven’t been to Versace’s home yet, but one day I want to explore a little more. LOVE the fun colors of the area!
I’ll take all questions 😉 My photos, though edited, are definitely more accurate. It’s more of a forest green…definitely not as vibrant as the retailer’s site! At least the one I got is! Hope that helps!
It looks gorgeous there! Definitely like a place I’d like to visit.
Hopefully soon!
Omgosh Miami is just stunning!! All these colors are making me so happy! I’m ready to be able to get out and travel around, again! This is definitely an area that my husband and I want to visit, together! So many warm, vibrant places full of culture! Love this!

Can’t wait to go out and travel again too. But I am enjoying reliving these memories. I think you and your husband would love to visit here!
OMG these pictures of Miami are absolutely beautiful!! I was there some years ago and I want to go back again!
I feel the same way- I want to go back again too!
These photos are so cute and loving the art deco architecture– the bright colors are totally Miami!
Right! It’s fun to relive this fun day!
I’ve been to Miami a few times and I love it! My fave city in Florida and it’s been years since I was there! Gorgeous photos by the way ❤️
It’s such a fun, vibrant place! I hope to go back soon.
I absolutely love these photos! You fit in SO perfectly there – especially in that outfit! This area of Miami is the best.
So fun, right! And thank you for the kind words. It’s fun to dress for where you’re going!
