About

Vizcaya was built as the winter home of industrialist James Deering, and the main house is filled with European furniture and decorative art. The real highlight for many visitors is outside: formal gardens, fountains and a stone barge facing Biscayne Bay.

The estate is open every day except Tuesday, and on-site parking is free. Restoration work is underway on the grounds, and adult admission has been reduced during the project, so check the website for current conditions. Go early on a weekday for the coolest weather and fewest crowds, and wear comfortable shoes for the gardens.
