Visit Us
Renovated and revitalized for its 100th anniversary, the Freedom Tower, Miami now stands as both a cultural landmark and a unique tourist destination in Florida. Long a symbol of hope and opportunity, this National Historic Landmark presents visitors with powerful stories about Miami's past. Inside the museum, you'll find exhibitions that explore Miami's history with the Cuban exile experience, celebrate soccer's power to unite, reflect on migration and language, and honor the enduring human spirit through art.
Located in the heart of a vibrant downtown area, the Freedom Tower is a must-see for visitors searching for things to do in Miami, Overlooking Biscayne Bay, a visit to the Freedom Tower will place visitors within easy reach of other top Miami attractions including science and art museums, concert and sports venues, a diverse restaurant scene, and more.
