Gorgeous place to visit!
When we think of Miami, shopping and Miami Beach come to mind. Of course, I also think about eating delicious Cuban dishes, other beaches and parks, art, museums …
If you want to know other places, do not hesitate to visit Vizcaya Museum and Gardens or simply known as Vizcaya. After being a residence for a long time, it opened as a museum in 1953.
The place is amazing. If you are a photography lover, you will have a great time here as it has beautiful settings including a view of Biscayne Bay. A walk through the gardens will make you forget about time and stay there for hours.
To make the most of your visit to this incredible spot in South Florida, here are 3 must-know tips.
- Visit early
Avoid the crowds by going on a weekday, either early in the morning or later in the afternoon, especially during peak season (November–April).
- Use the audio guide
Vizcaya offers a free app with an audio tour—great for learning more about the estate. Bring your own headphones.
- Dress comfy and stay hydrated
The grounds are spacious, so wear light clothes, comfy shoes, and bring a reusable water bottle.
You can get your ticket upon arrival. On Tuesdays, Thanksgiving Day (the last Thursday in November) and at Christmas (Dec 24) it is closed. For more information, you can visit the website here.
