Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, Miami

Vizcaya museum and gardens is one of my favorite places to visit in Miami. The house has such a rich history. You can do self-guided tour‘s, guided tours, or audio tours. Any of these kinds of tours are a great way to visit the house. We chose to do a self-guided tour so we could take our time and read the guides that were at each room. We enjoyed having the time to look at all of the furniture and details that were included when the house was built. The gardens outside are absolutely amazing, make sure you take the time to explore the gardens find the hidden garden, do the hedge maze, and find the area in the back where the gondolas could pull up. The gardens are a great place to get family photos and get amazing views of Biscayne Bay. I would highly recommend taking the time to explore Vizcaya give yourself a couple hours.

My favorite place in Miami. Great gardens on the water with incredible views and a historic mansion which gives you a real sense of how people with money lived long ago. The colorful lizards sun basking on heads of old, worn statues was a cool site. Plan to spend hours here taking it all in. Personal photography was allowed outside, but not inside the mansion. Who is going to see you snap a shot of that spiral staircase, though? Nice gift shop, too.

Every time visitors were in town I always suggest Vizcaya. It is an inexpensive activity that can be as quick or long as you’d like. The home has extravagant decor and history. The picturesque exterior reminded me of Florence and Venice. The only time I ever had to wait on a line was right at peak Christmas tourism. The Stairs and uneven ground in the gardens may be tough for kids & some adults. Enjoy! PS- it’s too instagram worthy to resist so charge your phone!

Step out of Miami and step into Europe without a Passport. Amazingly beautiful European style coral mansion turned into a museum. I actually wanted to get married there many years ago. The gardens are breathtaking. A perfect place to spend the day. Walk around the house, gardens and end your visit with a cup of coffee at their cute cafè

Went here for the moonlight tour on a date. Absolutely beautiful. Arrived right before the sun set and enjoyed cocktails. I honestly didn't do the actual tour but walked the grounds and enjoyed the view and beauty of the grounds. Thumbs up
