Absolutely Amazing
Built in 1916 as a winter retreat, this lavish villa is a tribute to the Italian Renaissance. The museum contains much of the original furnishings and artwork, and is surrounded by lush, formal gardens.

Absolutely Amazing
What a lovely place full of history and great architecture. We really did not expect such old European architecture in the USA. It's a beautiful place to learn about the history of the Deering Estate and relax and enjoy the garden. As of now, you can only purchase tickets online so please ensure you do so before visiting especially if you do not have a data plan. It's only when I got there I realise that I needed to book online, luckily I had a data plan and was able to book. An audio tour comes with the purchase so download the Vizcaya app befoe and ensure you walk with headsets. For those wondering how to get there, you can take the Train from downtown Miami and stop at the Vizcaya station. From here you can walk just ask someone for directions.

Worth a visit
The Vizcaya Museum and Gardens are worth a visit. The museum is fascinating. We appreciated that there is information about the people who worked there before it was a museum and the impact of climate changes. It was nice to stroll through the gardens. February is probably not the best time to see them. They are likely much more impressive in the spring and summer. Water views are beautiful. Parking is easy. Staff in museum and cafe are very responsive and welcoming. P.S. According to the website and signage upon arrival, you have to buy tickets on-line. Unfortunately, this is clunky on a mobile phone and personal information is requested to "register" that is not really necessary. You can just walk up to the ticket counter and buy tickets.
