Cities

Vice City is a vibrant coastal metropolis, bathed in sunlight and surrounded by the ocean. From the very first moments, the variety of its landscapes stands out: bustling beaches, modern downtown areas, quiet residential neighborhoods, and rundown industrial zones. The atmosphere is unique, blending palm trees, colorful graffiti, and art deco architecture. The city exudes excess, with visible luxury hiding underlying poverty. The streets are filled with diverse pedestrians, street vendors, patrolling officers, and gangs deep in conversation. Activity never stops—day or night, Vice City is alive, constantly moving, and full of layers to explore.

Vice City is divided into several districts, each with its own distinctive feel. Along the coast, tourist areas are packed with trendy bars, nightclubs, jet skis, and flashy villas. Further inland, quieter suburbs appear, sometimes marked by crime or decay. The city center impresses with its towering skyscrapers, office buildings, and elevated roads, while swampy outer regions offer wild nature, often hiding illegal activity. Each neighborhood has its own culture, music, vehicles, and social codes. Traveling through the city feels like passing from one world to another, with smooth and immersive transitions.

In Vice City, everything feels in motion. Weather conditions change often: a blazing sun can quickly give way to a tropical storm, drastically altering the vibe. Traffic is heavy during rush hours, people behave differently depending on the district, and available activities are numerous—sports, underground fighting, gambling, smuggling, and more. Unexpected events occur, like accidents, robberies, or police chases. The city evolves over time, with new constructions, renovations, and rising tensions. Vice City isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a complete, living world, full of richness, surprises, and danger.

Located in the southeastern part of the map, Leonida Keys is a chain of tropical islands inspired by the famous Florida Keys. The setting feels like a postcard: deserted beaches, wooden docks, rustic cabins, and winding roads connecting each island. Far from the urban chaos of Vice City, Leonida Keys offers a stark contrast, with a more relaxed, almost timeless atmosphere. You’ll encounter fishermen, quiet smugglers, or lost tourists. The lush vegetation and breathtaking sunsets hide a darker truth—this paradise often serves as a hub for shady dealings. It’s the perfect spot for secret meetings… or fast getaways by boat.

Beneath its peaceful exterior, Leonida Keys hides a much more perilous side. Some islands are uninhabited or semi-abandoned, used as hideouts for armed groups, makeshift drug labs, or smuggling checkpoints. The isolated roads and hidden coves become strategic spots for illegal operations. Tropical weather also plays a key role—sudden storms and heavy humidity can make navigation difficult and plans unpredictable. Between the calm of nature and constant underlying tension, Leonida Keys is never truly safe. It’s a region to master—dangerous, unpredictable, but full of opportunities for those who know how to move through it.

Leonida Keys is more than just picturesque beaches. The deeper areas feature swamps teeming with alligators and exotic wildlife, creating an environment as immersive as it is hostile. You’ll find stilt houses, backwater fishing bars, and isolated villages living almost off the grid. The setting is rich in natural sounds, detailed environments, and architecture typical of southern tropical zones. For players, it’s an ideal place to hide, move unnoticed, or escape authorities by sea. Leonida Keys adds a unique flavor to GTA 6’s world—part escape, part danger, and fully immersive.

Port Gellhorn is a port city located in the northwest of the map, offering a stark contrast to Vice City. Here, there are no paradise beaches or flashy skyscrapers—just docks, warehouses, towering cranes, and a constant industrial buzz. The atmosphere is gray, rough, and heavy with the weight of labor, pollution, and decay. Residential areas are modest, sometimes rundown, with a strong working-class presence. The harbor itself is massive and never sleeps, filled with stacked containers and cargo ships coming and going at all hours. It’s a strategic area for business—both legal and underground—where every corner seems tied to freight, deals, or dirty money.

Port Gellhorn reflects the struggle of a town in crisis: unemployment, crime, corruption—but also resilience and grassroots resistance. Some districts are dominated by local gangs, while others survive on odd jobs and low-level hustling. You’ll find dingy bars, underground garages, squats, but also government offices and companies trying to polish their image. The atmosphere is tense but real—every alley feels like it holds secrets, conflicts, and a rough kind of history. The urban landscape is dense, sometimes suffocating, amplifying the sense of pressure that defines life here. Port Gellhorn is raw, restless, and deeply human.

With its industrial zones, hidden backstreets, and dimly lit docks, Port Gellhorn is the perfect ground for underground activity. It’s an ideal place to plan discreet deliveries, stash stolen goods, or use shipping containers as makeshift hideouts. The constant noise of the harbor provides natural cover for illicit exchanges. Police presence is sporadic—and sometimes complicit—allowing players more freedom to operate, provided they know the terrain. It’s a place for smart, strategic moves, far from the flashiness of Vice City but rich with potential for those willing to embrace its darker, grittier vibe.

Ambrosia is an inland town located deep within the state of Leonida. It draws inspiration from the American Deep South, featuring colonial architecture, old churches, shaded town squares, and porch-lined houses. The atmosphere is slower, more traditional, yet full of personality. Ambrosia feels frozen in time, marked by strong local values, a prominent religious presence, and a tight-knit community. You'll find county fairs, farmers’ markets, and cultural festivities—but also an underlying tension tied to the region’s complex social history. It’s a town where peaceful appearances can quickly give way to deep-rooted conflicts bubbling just below the surface.

Ambrosia is surrounded by farmland—fields, silos, dusty roads, and quiet countryside. The scenery is beautiful and sun-drenched, but often hides a tougher reality: poverty, racial divides, agricultural trafficking, and powerful family clans. Behind the friendly smiles of the locals lie long-held secrets. The town is divided ideologically, with deep-rooted conservatism clashing against a more progressive younger generation. Appearances can be deceiving, and justice isn’t always served through official channels. Ambrosia is a place that feels calm and picturesque—until you scratch beneath the surface and discover its darker, more complex nature.

Despite its seemingly remote status, Ambrosia plays a key strategic role in the GTA 6 map. Positioned between major roadways and near industrial zones, it serves as a transit point for many types of cargo—both legal and illegal. It’s a discreet place where deals are made, meetings arranged, and grudges settled far from Vice City’s spotlight. Garages, remote motels, and hidden safehouses make it the perfect place to lay low. Police presence is inconsistent and often influenced by local interests. Ambrosia is the kind of town that appears minor—but holds a central role in the shifting power dynamics of Leonida.

Grassrivers is a southern town in Leonida, nestled deep within a swampy, river-laced region. Surrounded by bayous, dense forests, and winding waterways, the town exudes a humid, mysterious atmosphere. Far from the buzz of major cities, life in Grassrivers follows the rhythm of nature, fishing, hunting, and deep-rooted local beliefs. You’ll find wooden shacks, creaky bridges, aging motorboats, and a tight-knit yet wary community. The cultural identity here is strong, shaped by Creole, Cajun, and African-American influences. Grassrivers feels frozen in time—steeped in old stories, whispers of the past, and an eerie charm that blurs the line between folklore and reality.

Despite its calm appearance, Grassrivers is far from peaceful. Its geographic isolation makes it a perfect hideout for underground activities: homemade drug production, smuggling routes, illegal weapons caches, or discreet abductions. Law enforcement is nearly absent—often corrupt or overwhelmed. Some locals live completely off the grid, deep in areas unreachable by car. The swamps play a crucial role: they’re a maze where one can hide, get lost, or vanish entirely. Grassrivers is dangerous and unpredictable, a place where the strongest and most cunning thrive, and where survival often depends on knowing when—and how—to disappear.

Grassrivers has a unique vibe: thick morning fog, buzzing insects at night, campfires by the water, and strange rituals lit by torches. You’ll encounter mysterious figures—retired soldiers, swamp shamans, smugglers, and reclusive loners. The line between the real and the supernatural is often blurred. Some parts of the town seem forgotten by time, marked by crumbling ruins, abandoned churches, and cemeteries half-submerged in water. For players, Grassrivers offers a haunting and immersive environment, ideal for exploration, ambushes, and secretive dealings far from prying eyes. It’s a place where every shadow hides a story—and every silence feels like a warning.

Mount Kalaga rises from the heart of Leonida’s inland region with steep cliffs, dense forests, and towering peaks. It’s a rugged, hard-to-reach mountainous area—perfect for those looking to escape civilization. Nature here is raw and often unforgiving: dirt trails, deep ravines, waterfalls, and roaming wildlife. Scattered across the terrain are isolated cabins, ranches, and observation posts. Cell service is spotty, roads are poorly maintained, and help is far away. Mount Kalaga offers a harsh yet breathtaking landscape, ideal for tracking, hiding out, or conducting quiet operations far from the noise and control of the cities.

Mount Kalaga draws an unusual crowd: survivalists, ex-soldiers, smugglers, and hermits seeking peace—or to disappear. Some areas are completely uninhabited, serving as natural hideouts for fugitives or as training grounds for off-grid militias. Reclusive communities also dwell here, bound by their own rules and distrustful of outsiders. Caves, tunnels, and high ground provide ample cover for covert operations or hidden stashes. The complex terrain and unpredictable weather add to the feeling of isolation. In Mount Kalaga, law and order often fade away, and survival is a matter of knowing the land and relying only on yourself.

Exploring Mount Kalaga feels like stepping into a tense wilderness thriller. The area is marked by heavy silence, howling winds at higher altitudes, and thick morning fog. While the region offers breathtaking views, there’s always a lingering sense of danger—like something is watching. Hidden trails, scenic overlooks, and abandoned ruins invite exploration and risk. For players, it’s a vertical playground full of tactical possibilities and secrets. Mount Kalaga stands in stark contrast to Vice City’s glitz: it’s raw, wild, and unpredictable. A place where nature rules again—and where only the prepared survive.
