The Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAAM) is a contemporary art museum located within the new Museum Park in Downtown Miami. Founded in 1984 as the Center for the Fine Arts, it was renamed in 2013 upon the opening of this new building designed by Herzog & de Meuron at 1103 Biscayne Boulevard. PAMM is part of the 20-acre Museum Park (formerly known as the Bicentennial Park) and the $275 million Patricia Frost Museum of Science and a city park are being built in the area, with completion scheduled for 2015. The Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) is directly served by rapid transit at Museum Park Metromover station and by Metroral via transfer at Government Center station.

Approximate distance, 2.5 miles, round trip. As you exit your residence at the Icon Brickell building, take a right towards the water and follow the path for some 700 yards; then take the bridge to the small Brickell Key. You can stroll or run around its 1.2 mile perimeter. One of our favorite experiences. You are always by the water. No cars or bicycles to disturb you.

Approximate distance 3 miles, round trip. Instead of crossing the bridge to Brickell Key, just cross thatroad and you will see a gate to a public marina (you may overlook it, keep your eyes wide open). Enter the gate (it looks like a private one but it is not) and follow the path, always by the water. At some moment a parking lot will force you to walk away from the water but you can take again the water path until 15th Avenue (over 1 mile from start). To return, you can come back the same way go a little west towards the Mary Brickell Village area. If you feel energized continue south down Brickell Ave until road leading to the bridge to Biscayne Bay. A round trip to that point is 6.5 mile

Approximate distance: 10 to 24km.Follow instructions of Brickell Drive Walk until you reach 15th street. Then you can go south on Brickell Avenue until you reach the bridge to Key Biscayne. Those views are magnificent. Walkers are protected from cars by a concrete wall. You can walk by the small beach and continue until the end of the beach or return. If you return from the first parking lot by the beach, one way distance will be around 5.5 km. If you go all the way to Key Biscayne the distance will be around 11-12 km, one way.
