Vizcaya Museum & Gardens: Entry Ticket + Transport

About this experience

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens is a museum in Miami built as the winter residence of industrialist James Deering, completed in 1916. The estate combines an Italian Renaissance-style villa with formal gardens overlooking Biscayne Bay, and its collection spans European decorative arts, furniture, and architectural elements dating from the 15th to the 19th century. This ticket includes roundtrip bus transport from Miami Beach hotels (up to Collins and 72nd Street) and Downtown Miami hotels, making it a straightforward option among things to do in Miami without arranging separate travel. Visits are self-guided, allowing guests to move through the villa's ornate rooms at their own pace before exploring the formal gardens, grottos, and the stone barge moored at the bay-front terrace. The grounds cover roughly ten acres and include themed garden rooms, fountains, and unobstructed water views. Allow up to four hours to cover the house and gardens comfortably. Entry covers admission to the museum and gardens plus the included transport; guided tours, food, drinks, and gratuities are not part of the booking. Wheelchair access is not available at this property.
