Design District

Get in

The main intersection for the Design District is at NE 2nd Avenue and NE 39th Street.

By car

As with most of mainland Miami, the most convenient way of traveling to the Design District is by car.

• From Miami Beach, take interstate highway 195 west and exit immediately after the causeway onto Biscayne Boulevard North. Cross Biscayne Boulevard and keep going until you see NE 2nd Avenue.
• From Downtown Miami, go north on Biscayne Boulevard. Make a left at NE 36th Street and then a right onto NE 2nd Avenue.
• From I-95, exit at highway 195 East. Take the Biscayne Boulevard exit and continue on NE 36th Street, and make a right onto NE 2nd Avenue.

Street parking is generally plentiful, but the meters are hungry so bring a lot of quarters. Alternatively, valet parking should also be available at certain venues.

By bus

Buses are not very well oriented for tourists, but can be used to get to the Design District.

• From Miami Beach, take the #110 J-Airport bus from W 41st Street and Collins Avenue. Buses come every half hour and the trip takes around 15 minutes to arrive. Exit at NE 2nd Avenue or NE 1st Avenue on NE 36th Street. Walk north underneath the highway overpass for about three blocks.
• From South Beach, there is no direct bus line so you will need to transfer. One way of doing this is to catch the #103 C-Downtown bus from Washington Avenue, then transfer at the Omnitert bus station to the #10 163 St Mall bus. Exit the bus at NE 2nd Avenue and NE 40th Street and you are right in the Design District. This trip can take up to 45 minutes.
• From Downtown Miami, take the #9 Aventura Mall bus anywhere along NE 1st Avenue. Buses come every half hour and the trip takes around 15-20 minutes to arrive. Exit the bus at NE 2nd Avenue and NE 40th Street and you are right in the Design District.
