Vizcaya Museum & Gardens Complete Tour (4K)

Tour the beautiful Vizcaya Museum & Gardens in 4K UHD quality. We visited the amazing mansion & its gardens plus grounds in December 2017 in between a pair of back-to-back cruises that left from south Florida. We had been to Miami many times, but never got a chance to visit Vizcaya, and we can completely recommend it to those staying in Miami as a pre-cruise excursion or after a sailing. This sea-side property that borders the Biscayne Bay is spectacular inside and out, and well deserving of its national historic landmark honor.

If you are a AAA member you can get a small discount on the ticket of admission.

Some of the highlights of the former winter home of James Deering included:

* the opulent Living Room
* the balmy and stylish greenhouse central courtyard
* the enclosed Loggia with the amazingly detailed walls & tray ceiling
* the Asian-themed Breakfast Room
* the impressive Kitchen & pantries
* the various bedrooms on the second floor, plus North Tower & South Tower (Espagnolette, Goyesca, Giudecca, Cathay, Manin, Pantaloon, Lady Hamilton, Belgioioso & the surprisingly modest Deering bedroom
* the ship-like Barge that serves to break waves that head towards the property
* the "Tea House" that provides nice views, including the Mangrove Shore & the Biscayne Bay
* the Secret Garden with many cool cacti plants
* the Maze Garden
* the Garden Mound and its surround sculptures

Are there ghosts that haunt Vizcaya? There was a music room that seemed to have music instruments play by itself ;-).

Stunning video. Thank you for the walk down memory lane. This reminds me I need to visit again the next time I get back home.

That maze garden has seen some better days, I'd imagine due to the occasional hurricane/tropical system they've had to regrow or try to repair it. I'm 41 now, but my parents took me and my sister there when i was 4 years old. The hedges were probably a foot or 2 taller than the size of a 4 year old and the shrubs were thick. They let us loose in that maze and I believe I got lost. I remember crying after my parents were joking about not being able to find me again. lol We all live in the South Florida area and I"ve been meaning to stop by again inside.
