Miami

Discover the history, architecture and waterfront energy of downtown Miami on a self-guided smartphone audio tour.

Follow a 4.5-mile route at your own pace as GPS-triggered stories introduce the restored Freedom Tower, Miami Dade College, Gesu Catholic Church, Olympia Theater, the Miami River, Miami Circle, Bayfront Park, Pier 5 and the Miami Walk of Fame.
