Vizcaya Museum and Gardens
The Vizcaya Museum and Gardens which is considered one of the best museums in Miami, located in the Coconut Grove area, were originally built in the early 1900s as a winter house for businessman James Deering. It now functions as a museum, housing works of art ranging from the 15th to the 19th centuries. Recent guests were amazed by the experience's ambiance and architecture. Much of the original home (which covers 38,000 feet) is still standing and has an interesting collection of old furnishings. However, for many visitors, the stunning gardens are the undisputed highlight of any visit here. The gorgeous gardens, according to visitors, are reminiscent of historic European houses.
You may explore the grounds at your leisure, or get an audio tour for $5. For $5, guided 45-minute tours of the main home and grounds are also offered. Daily tours are available at 10:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 12:30, 1:30, and 2:30 p.m. The Vizcaya Museum and Gardens are a mile southwest of downtown Miami. There is easy access to public transportation from the Vizcaya Metrorail station, but there is also free parking if you want to drive. Adult admission is $22 and children aged 6 to 12 are $10. The museum is open from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Wednesday through Monday.
