My best friend came to visit Miami for the first time for Art Basel 2024 and these are the spots we visited. Some places may or may not have events every year, but still worth checking out during the busiest time in Miami!
The Rubell Museum is known for throwing a yearly party to kick off the start of Art Basel week. In 2024 I spotted Cuba Goodin Jr.!
Rubell Museum
One of the go-to art fairs for the latest trends in the art world.
CONTEXT Art Miami
One of the most famous restaurants in Miami serving authentic Cuban food. It gives diner vibes and has so many food options to pick from!
Versailles Restaurant Cuban Cuisine
The only museum dedicated to street art! They put on some incredible shows that will make you see street art in a new light.
Museum of Graffiti
Great bar for a late night drink after strolling Wynwood for hours.
Dante's HiFi
One of my favorite spots for affordable brunch food. The portions are so large you won't finish your plate!
MIAM CAFE - CORAL GABLES
Go-to spot for the delicious Cuban pastelitos.
Vicky Bakery
Arguably the best art fair!
Untitled Art
Try the tataki with the tangeries--thank me later!
Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill - South Beach
I love this fair for the activations that they have and the diverse talent.
Scope Miami Beach - Art Fair
The biggest art fair of them all. You'll want to dedicate at least 2 hours to this space and make sure you grab your coffee and snacks!
Art Basel Miami Beach
I enjoyed the charcuterie board and chicken ceasar salad.
IT Italian Trattoria COLLINS
You have to try their steak nachos!
Taco Taco
Historial museum with unique art. During Basel they hostel an event with live music--it was wonderful!
The Wolfsonian-Florida International University
I love hanging out at Moxy's lobbies while I rest for my next activity. They have a rooftop area as well to get amazing views of Miami Beach.
Hotel near South Beach, Florida | Moxy Miami South Beach
Delicious sushi and ample seating! I love that it's surrounded by the pool and nature.
Sola Miami Beach
Only go to Twist if you want to dance until you can't walk anymore.
Twist
Great spot for brunch and hands-down the best Chicken and Waffles!
Le Chick Miami
They rotate the murals once a year--it's great to see how the space continues to evolve year after year.
Wynwood Walls
They have special exhibitions and events during Art Basel that you don't want to miss!
