Let’s start big picture.
Known as Miami's most Instagrammed place (and in Miami's coolest neighborhood), this outdoor "gallery" is a cornucopia of artwork by graffiti artists and muralists that's a nice foil to Miami's museums. Folks are here to stroll, peruse the murals and, of course, take photos.

Any standout features or must-sees?
The murals are constantly changing and being updated, but closer to the entrance are the iconic works by artist Shepard Fairey (the artist behind the Obama “Hope” poster).

Was it easy to get around?
It's a relatively small outdoor space so it's easy to navigate, and there are plenty of benches or rocks to sit on and take it all in. The Walls recently instituted a ticket policy whereby Adult admission is $12, students are $5 and children under 12 are free.

All said and done, what—and who—is this best for?
People with active social media will love the opportunity for some selfies. Lovers of street art who don't 'gram their lives will also find much to inspire them.
