Vizcaya Museum & Gardens: Behind The Scenes of Miami’s Top Attraction

I recently visited Vizcaya Museum & Gardens for the first time since the pandemic. I had forgotten how peaceful and energizing it is to walk around those beautiful grounds. Vizcaya is our tiny Versailles in South Florida, a breathtaking Gilded Age estate on Biscayne Bay surrounded by ten acres of formal gardens, a mangrove shoreline and rockland hammock.

It’s the perfect place to spend an entire day in the serenity of the gardens or enjoying the view of the water. Vizcaya is such a beautiful backdrop for photos you are sure to bump into a couple taking their engagement photos or a quinceañera photoshoot. If you haven’t been, add this place to your bucket list. It’s an experience you don’t want to miss.
