Carnival Cruise - Day VIII

Posted by batik bagoes

Today we return to the Port of Miami and bid all our blogging buddies goodbye. Hubby and I decided that we wanted to stay one more night in Miami and do a little sightseeing. We aren't going to go far, but across the street from our hotel there is place called Bayside Marketplace. When we arrived in Miami last week we just didn't have time to spend on sightseeing. So today that's what we are going to do. What better place to go than somewhere where there is a marina and boats!

Bayside Marketplace is a festival marketplace in Downtown Miami, Florida. It's in between Bayfront Park to the south end, and the American Airlines Arena to the north. As Bayside's name suggests, it wraps along the banks of the Biscayne Bay. The entertainment complex opened in 1987, while a major real estate boom was taking place. Instead of being planned to revitalize a specific area as its sister properties had, Bayside complements an existing marina. The shopping center was frequently featured on the crime drama TV series, Miami Vice. The center attracts on average fifteen million people annually. It is served by the Metrorail at the Government Center Station, and directly by the Metromover's College/Bayside Station.
