Vizcaya Museum and Gardens occupies a stretch of Biscayne Bay shoreline in the southern end of Brickell, where the city grid gives way to a 50-acre estate of formal Italian Renaissance gardens, stone terraces, and a 1916 villa. Visitors come for the architecture, the bay views, and the rotating exhibitions inside the main house. The surrounding streets are quiet compared to central Brickell, and the Metrorail Vizcaya Station puts the museum within reach of Miami International Airport without a car. The hotels on this page sit within roughly one mile of the museum entrance, giving guests a walkable base for morning visits before the afternoon crowds arrive.
