The observation wheel beside the arena is replicated in the game's downtown.

Visiting

Free to walk around; the wheel and boat tours are paid, and sunset is the best time. Check opening hours and fees with the place before you go.

Close by

Who makes the match: cbsnews.com, leonidatours.com. Rockstar has never named the real places it modelled. Clearly shown: the place is plain to see in an official trailer and several comparisons agree. Likely: one solid side-by-side comparison. A guess: fans think so; nobody has shown it yet.

Grand Theft Auto VI is made by Rockstar Games. What's On Miami isn't affiliated with Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive, and shows no game footage or artwork: every match below comes from published comparisons of the official trailers, linked under each place. Vice City is fictional; the places are real, and some are private homes or businesses, so visit respectfully.
