The 50 best boutiques in Miami (2024)

Very cool! I loved visiting. Beautiful home and gardens. Great info throughout with context on the lives of the family.Very busy and kind of pricey at $25 per ticket. There were a bunch of older people who didn’t get the concept of a digital ticket so that held up the line, we probably had to wait 20 minutes for a process that could have taken 5. Maybe fire signage or a separate line for those that need assistance?Also man, I got so sweaty exploring the gardens haha. More water fountains would have been appreciated but that might just be a me-thing. Inside the home was air conditioned which was nice, lots of places to sit and appreciate the architecture. It was very busy when I visited so we had to wait to read some info or see in to some rooms. We went on Sunday and we’re there around 11 so definitely prime time for this experience.

If you’re looking for a romantic setting for photos, look no further! I can’t recommend this place enough. It. Is. Stunning! The place is massive so I recommend going and keeping that in mind so you can explore the whole place. There’s a cute gift shift to the left of the main house/mansion and a little coffee shop where you can get food, snacks, and something to drink. Definitely bring comfortable shoes if you really want to explore this place - which I recommend. I highly recommend for photos, any kind, but especially engagements. The parking can be a little tricky, we had to park across the street and then walk over which isn’t a big deal but it took us a little to figure it out. Prices are for the day - I recommend spending several hours here and really taking your time.

The museum is gorgeous. If you are in Miami you must go here. The price is $50 card only, we went on Friday at 1 pm it was not crowded. You can buy your ticket online or there. There is a cafeteria in the museum. it is a very recurrent place for photo shoots and it is bc every corner is beautiful! I recommend to start with the gardens are huge and then with the house, I finished all museum in 3 hours. The house yells: my owner was multi millionaire!

It's worth every penny!- Ticket was $25, and you can only buy them online. The villa was built in the 1920s and was a technologically advanced house for that era. The architecture is from the Italian renaissance period with a modern touch.Exquisitely preserved and very impressive, this residence was established with the primary goal of entertaining guests.Beautiful architecture and interior with amazingly well-preserved furniture, tapestries, and murals.The gardens are stunning and magnificently maintained. Morning is the best time to go; there are fewer people in the morning, so I recommend planning for the morning on a week day to avoid crow.Manatees were around the docks! We didn't do the audio tour; the information on the placards is good enough to tell the history of its construction and some environmental factors that threaten it today! There's a cafe shop on site, and the food is okay.The walk through the gardens is pretty level, with occasional stairs. A dream place for photographers, art and architecture lovers, and history buffs. The villa has featured in several movies and is also a top wedding destination. Expect to spend around 1.5 to 2 hours fully exploring the mansion and gardens. The Museum closes around 4.30 pm.

Beautiful landscape, unique decor and tons of history packed into this place. Lots of art decor and history. The complimentary audio tour provides a great selection paced tool too explore this marvelous mansion. Tons of nooks and crannies to explore. The gardens are breathtaking and beautiful. Between the main building, the gazebo, and the gardens, there is no lack of photo opportunities. Spent hours exploring and enjoyed every minute.

Wow! The mansion and grounds are magnificent. Beautiful and peaceful to walk, just stay hydrated if you are going in the summer. Perfect place for a photo shoot also. This is a must if you are in Miami!

Beautiful! Friendly staff at the entrance, friendly welcome team inside. The bathrooms were clean, the whole place was great. Parking might be a challenge but I got uber and even he was confused. A hidden gem I recommend visitors to take a tour. The best part, VETERANS GET IN FREE. Thank you for that privilege!! GO ARMY!!!

I loved visiting Vizcaya! I went this past August for the first time ever and I was not disappointed! So much beautiful scenery, and their security guard, Hugo, was just the sweetest person! He gave us more information about the house and James Deering! It was really interesting to see this vintage mansion up close with all the real architecture and original rooms😍 10/10 recommend visiting! Both gorgeous on the inside and outside.

Well worth the trip. Reasonably priced. Took us about 2 hours to get through the grounds. If you are any way interested in history, art, or architecture this will be worth your while. Beautiful facility. Well ran and kept up.

This was one of the highlights of my first trip to Miami. $25 admission when you buy online or you can see what discounts you’ll get when you purchase in person. I easily spent 3-4 hours here just looking at the mansion and then admiring the garden and ship outside. I can’t tell you about parking because we just took an Uber here. Service was superb. Employees do an awesome job at keeping this place clean and immaculate. I’m sure you’ll see people dressed up just to take nice pictures but that’s not mandatory. Dress however you want but make sure you know how to take pictures with the right angles. Or at least find some of the younger people to take pictures of you. It can get crowded at times depending on the day and time.

What a beautiful place!!! We are leaving out to go to Spain tomorrow on a cruise from Miami. Since we had several hours to kill before we could check into our room, we found this place online and decided to stop and check it out. This property is full of beautiful water features, gardens, architecture, history, and ocean. What a great combination. Just disappointed I was not able to have enough time to put the drone up. Anyway, this is a beautiful property that displays some great Miami history. Definitely glad that we stopped in.

As someone who loves architecture, I have been wanting to come here for a while and this place did not disappoint. Lovely outdoor gardens scattered with truly unique structures set against the waterfront. I loved the small maze garden we came across and the fountain with tiny lily pads. Its obvious great care was taken to create and maintain this historic site. We went around 10:30 a.m. and it got hot pretty quickly so the coolness of the home was welcome. Also delightful to see how well-preserved the place is and to learn about the story behind it. Felt very COVID-safe walking in larger open spaces. We didn't opt for the guided tour but probably would do next time we visit. Would be hard to tour and view the whole space on just one visit. And wear comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunglasses. and sunscreen. Worth a visit if you're visiting Miami for a long weekend.

If you like peaking into people’s homes, this is a must visit. When does one get a chance to walk around a mansion? This place is absolutely beautiful. Plan to spend there around 2-3h to take in as much as possible. Loved the free audio guide, possible to follow at your own pace.

Came back after 17 years. This time I was here with kids. Now with A/C!! Great place to spend an hour and half. Not too many things to see but the garden was still in great shape. Kids were excited chasing geckos. Brought lots of memories when I and my wife were still young. Great to visit again.

History in Miami? Yes, this wonderful place, between tropical coast and European architecture (with Asian touches in its decoration) (Greek, Egyptian, French, Spanish and nothing Latin), total views for all tastes, and good vibes. Get to the mangroves and please don't leave trash. Highly recommended.

This is a great place to relax and have a piece of history. Every corner is full of details and architecture. The gardens are magnificent to take a walk, some pictures and breathe fresh air. During summer it is hot because of the humidity, but you can always walk back to the main building for some AC.

Really enjoyed this gallery and its pretty gardens. Initially thought $25 per person was a bit much for a gallery, but once we arrived, it was totally worth it. The house is big, beautiful, and looks like a picture, plus the gardens are well-maintained. The ocean view is stunning. Planning to visit again on our next trip for sure.

Very beautiful place to explore. When planning, you should allow a minimum of two hours to spend here, but could easily spend four hours depending on the kind of explorer you are. The place is enormous and well worth the price of entrance. We've been a few times and each time there were not a lot of people, so it was a peaceful visit each time and we had no problem dodging people in order to take pictures. There are huge iguanas on site that are curious creatures and super fun to watch when they make themselves known. While walking around the property, I like to imagine what it was like living in that kind of opulence on a daily basis, both for the owners, visitors and staff.

I have been in Vizcaya several times and every time that I go there, I enjoy its beauty and the amazing architecture. The gardens are magical.I had the opportunity to enjoyed a wedding and it was breathtaking.I’m not sure if they continue or not the yoga classes, but I took a few of them in the past and the full moon meditation and it was amazing! I hope I can do that again.I highly recommend this place even for local and tourist people.

Such a gorgeous magical place - both villa and gardens! I went with my 6yo son and he also loved it. We spent about three hours there and at the end had lunch at their cafe, which was also charming. Highly recommend this place for families, dates, children, it's perfect for everyone.

The architecture and the gardens are a visual treat, making it an ideal spot for photographers looking to capture beauty and history in one frame. However, I couldn’t help but wish they offered student discounts. As a student, such a thoughtful gesture would have made the experience even more accessible and enjoyable. Despite this, I found the visit incredibly worthwhile. It’s fascinating to see the opulence in which the wealthy lived. Overall, I’d recommend Vizcaya Museum to anyone interested in photography, history, or just a glimpse into the luxurious past. It’s definitely worth a visit.

Vizcaya Gardens in Miami, Florida, is a captivating blend of history and natural beauty. Once the winter estate of businessman James Deering, this Italian Renaissance-style villa is set amidst stunning gardens overlooking Biscayne Bay. The gardens, meticulously landscaped, boast a diverse array of flora including vibrant blooms, lush lawns, and tranquil water features. Strolling through, you're transported to another era, with classical sculptures, fountains, and winding pathways creating a serene and picturesque atmosphere. Vizcaya Gardens is a testament to both horticultural artistry and architectural grandeur, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking a peaceful escape amidst breathtaking surroundings.

Very enjoyable tour of historic house & gardens. The interior courtyard in the center of the house & gardens were my favorite. The food in the cafe was tasty, but somewhat pricey. Good weather definitely will make your visit most enjoyable.

Beautiful estate with indoor, outdoor, and cafe area. Lots to see from artifact to flowers and scenery. The estate provides guided as well as audio tour via QR code. Staffs are friendly throughout and you can expect to spend about 2-3 hours here depending on how immerse you are. Recommend to visit on a sunny day as it will make the scenery even prettier!

Vizcaya Museum & Gardens is a semi-historic place designed to look much older. We had a fine time walking around the place and saw a few iguanas. The history explanations were minimal, which I think is not from commission, but rather that this house was a winter residence, only for a few decades, and does not have much history at all. Overall a gorgeous house and garden, and I'm glad I visited, but I don't think I'll be spending the money for another ticket/visit.

Vizcaya Museum & Gardens is a captivating blend of historical charm, breathtaking scenic views, and exquisite ancient architecture. Exploring its meticulously manicured gardens is like stepping back in time, surrounded by the splendor of a bygone era. The rich history infused in every corner, coupled with handcrafted artistry, creates an immersive experience. A must-visit destination for those seeking a journey through time and a feast for the senses.
