Beneath Miami’s relentless sun, secrets ripple through glass towers and quiet reading rooms—truths the neon beaches never reveal.

This self-guided audio tour leads you through Miami’s beating heart, past landmarks most travelers ignore. Hidden stories and dramatic moments lurk behind the shelves of the Miami-Dade Public Library, the buzzing halls of Switchboard of Miami, and the soaring ambition of One Bayfront Plaza. Discover the city beneath the postcard.

What storm forced a library to become a rescue center overnight? Who vanished after one desperate phone call at Switchboard of Miami? And why did the shape of One Bayfront Plaza nearly spark an architectural mutiny?

Unspool Miami’s tangled history with every step. Walk where scandals clashed with hope and forgotten rebels once shaped the skyline. Each stop promises a new layer of intrigue, urging your senses and curiosity forward.
