The Pérez Art Museum, the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts sit along the bayfront cultural corridor, and Bayside Marketplace anchors the waterfront promenade. Brightline's downtown station and the Metromover loop connect the district to the wider region.
