Vizcaya Museum and Gardens with Transportation
Journey back in time at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens tour, a serene escape just minutes from the bustling city of Miami, Florida. We take you to the heart of Miami’s history, where the elegance of the early 20th century is meticulously preserved.
Nestled just beyond Miami’s vibrant Art Deco District and towering downtown skyscrapers lies Villa Vizcaya, a stunning Mediterranean style mansion built in the early 1900s when Miami was a fledgling city. Originally the winter residence of industrialist James Deering, Vizcaya was conceived as a grand Italian Villa, majestically situated along the tropical shores of Biscayne Bay.
Today, the Villa stands as one of Miami’s treasured National Historic Landmarks. Vizcaya Museum & Gardens invites you into an era of opulence and grandeur, reminiscent of a time when America’s wealthiest built extravagant homes mirroring European palaces. The museum houses an exquisite collection of European art, offering a glimpse into the luxurious lifestyles of the past.
Surrounding the Villa, you’ll find beautifully landscaped gardens and a stunning orchid collection, creating a serene oasis that transports you back to a Golden Age. As you wander through these lush gardens dotted with Renaissance and Baroque era statues, the hustle and bustle of modern Miami seem a world away.
A highlight of the tour is the breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay from the Villa’s backyard, including the Barge — an impressive stone breakwater fashioned into the shape of a boat, hosting a number of mermaid statues. This picturesque backdrop is a perfect spot for capturing memories of your visit to one of Miami’s most iconic historical sites.
Book this self-guided experience to visit and roam around Vizcaya Museum and Gardens for an insightful, relaxing journey into the heart of Miami’s cultural heritage. Round-trip transportation is included.
