The main city in GTA 6 will be the familiar and fan-favorite Vice City. It’s presented in vibrant colors with azure beaches, towering skyscrapers, and wide highways. At night, the city transforms into a world of neon lights, concealing the dangers and mysteries of the criminal underworld. We’ve gathered all the available information about Vice City that LibertyCity has at the moment, so you can learn more about this unique and multifaceted city in Grand Theft Auto 6.

Leonida — Florida

The fictional state of Leonida, much like Florida, will be depicted as a place with a tropical climate, abundant greenery, beaches, and swamps — exactly what we saw in the game’s first trailer. It will also feature elements characteristic of Florida, such as palm trees and tropical forests.

Just as Florida is famous for its tourist attractions, including Disneyland and numerous beaches, Leonida will surely become a center of tourism and entertainment, featuring various attractions and resorts.

If Florida is known for cities like Miami, Orlando, and Tampa, then Leonida will also include some major urban centers, each with its own unique character and features — for example, the city of Vice City.

Florida is a multicultural state with a large Latin American population, which is also reflected in Leonida, showcasing a diversity of cultures and ethnic groups.

And what about crime? Florida’s well-known issues with illegal substance trafficking and organized crime will certainly be echoed in Leonida, highlighting the darker sides of urban life.

Vice City — Miami

The architecture of Vice City reflects the art deco style characteristic of Miami’s historic Art Deco district. Buildings in both cities are marked by vivid colors, neon signs, and unique geometric shapes.

The nightlife of Vice City, with its clubs, bars, and restaurants, mirrors the vibrant nightlife of Miami. Both are known for their energy, music, culture, and parties lasting until dawn. In both cities, the economy is heavily tied to tourism and entertainment, as well as a darker side involving organized crime and illegal trade.

Miami is known for its cultural diversity, especially its Latin American and Caribbean communities, which is also reflected in Vice City. In both Miami and Vice City, there is a strong emphasis on car transportation, with a network of highways and bridges connecting different parts of the city.

Vice Beach — Miami Beach

Here, parallels can be drawn between the fictional Vice Beach and the real Miami Beach, both known for their picturesque white sand beaches and bright blue waters. Beach culture is a key part of the lifestyle, attracting tourists and locals for sunbathing, swimming, and water sports.

Miami Beach is a popular tourist destination with numerous hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, and shops. In the game, Vice Beach is also depicted as a place with a vibrant nightlife and various entertainment options, emphasizing an atmosphere of carefreeness and fun.

Like Miami Beach, Vice Beach is surrounded by other districts and attractions, making it part of a large urban infrastructure with diverse cultural and social features.

Vice City Port

PortMiami is one of the largest and busiest ports in the United States, serving as an important hub for international trade and cruise ships. The virtual Vice City Port will also likely become a major economic hub bustling with activity.

Given GTA’s criminal theme, Vice City Port may serve as a location for various illegal activities, including smuggling and other shady deals.

Waning Sands — Sunny Isles

Just like Sunny Isles, Waning Sands is a coastal area characterized by its beaches, beach culture, and waterfront entertainment. Sunny Isles is known for its luxurious residential complexes and hotels. In the game, Waning Sands is depicted as a district with upscale residential buildings, elite hotels, and private villas.

Sunny Isles features a variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues, and similar infrastructure will surely be present in Waning Sands, emphasizing its status.

Given GTA’s overall theme, Waning Sands could reflect a more dramatic and eccentric version of Sunny Isles, with elements of criminal activity, nightlife, and unique characters, adding an extra layer of exploration to the game world.

Mount Calaga National Park

Mount Calaga is a protected area in the north of the state, known for its wild landscape. Here, you can go hunting, fishing, or explore impassable trails. The surrounding forests are home to hermits, mystics, and radical individuals seeking to escape government control.

Ambrosia

The center of Leonida still remains a symbol of American industry and traditional values, despite the downsides of such a path. The main employer here is the Allied Crystal sugar factory, and issues unrelated to work are often handled by the local biker gang.

Port Gellhorn

Budget motels, abandoned amusement parks, and empty malls can hardly be called tourist gems, but it is here, in a region once bustling with visitors, that a unique local economy has emerged.

Locals rely on strong beer, painkillers, and energy drinks from the nearest gas station. If you decide to ride a dirt bike around these parts, don’t forget to keep an eye on your wallet.

Grassrivers

There is always something unpredictable lurking in these wild waters. Alligators are just the most well-known threat, but in the dense mangroves, predators far more dangerous can be found.

Leonida Keys

On this tropical archipelago, life is far from luxurious, but there is an atmosphere of simplicity and serenity. Grab some drinks, get comfortable, but don’t lose your vigilance: the surrounding waters are both mesmerizingly beautiful and full of hidden dangers.

Preliminary GTA 6 Map

The preliminary Grand Theft Auto 6 map, assembled by online users, is an island surrounded by blue-green waters, with diverse landscapes and numerous urban areas. In its central part is a large city with dense development reminiscent of Vice City’s atmosphere, featuring high-rise buildings intertwined with a network of roads and bridges. To the east and west, the city transitions into coastal districts with lower buildings.

The northern part of the map is more open, with fewer buildings, indicating the presence of farms or protected areas. In the south, there are sandy beaches and small islands. Roads and bridges provide access to all parts of the island, while remote areas may be accessible only by air or water, adding variety for exploration.

In the center of the map, there is a large lake surrounded by green areas, which could become a place for recreation and entertainment. Around the lake, you can see bridges and roads, indicating a well-developed infrastructure and accessibility for city and suburban residents.
