Vizcaya is not to far from Coconut Grove. The place is stunning, and very well kept and great historic tribute. I visit here every time I am in the grove

I agree with all of the other comments that speak of how beautiful and magnificent this place is! I had never heard of it (not having had an opportunity to research all of Miami in depth) but my boyfriend wanted to go there! I'm so happy we went and got to walk around in the vast and amazing gardens and... More

If you enjoy architecture or gardens this is a must see. Vizcaya is nothing short of magnificent. You can take your time exploring the home or gardens. The estate is absolutely beautiful. Vizcaya is a short drive from Miami Beach so if you are bored with the beach take a break and enjoy some historic beauty! I would not recommend... More

If it’s good enough for Tony Stark to fight in, then it’s good enough for you. Robert Downey, Jr. isn’t the only famous person to grace the Vizcaya with his presence (although it’s nice that he did, because prior to Iron Man III being filmed here, this Miami gem was relegated to film history hell by being known for that...

The other reviews say it all. You can't take pictures inside so you have to see it for yourself. It's gorgeous and unbelievably posh for being built in the early 1900s. The gardens are fantastic and they even have a nice little cafe. A must see in miami.

We were recommended to look this up it was a great 2 hour visit almost like visiting a stately home in the UK or Europe. The original owner was obviously very wealthy and imported and recreated parts of European history, you need to see the house for yourself as you cannot take photographs, the extensive gardens are also a major...

Beautiful gardens and home. Enjoyable view of what money and an interest in art could produce. Wonderful time wandering through the house and grounds. Take the tour which is included in the ticket price.

I'm actually don't interested in historic museum that much, however, if you do want to spend a few hour to take a picture of nice architecture and sea side. It's pretty decent spot for that purpose. The entrance fee is 15$ and 10$ for student with ID, so, if you are still a student don't forget to bring your id... More

We had no idea how beautiful this place was. The gardens, the house, the venice look alike water entrance. I need to go again as I have never seen anything like that in the US.
