In Short – Vizcaya is one of two national historic landmarks in Miami-Dade County. Once the winter residence of Chicago industrialist James Deering, this opulent palace's 10 acres of gardens and fountains now host sightseers, weddings and formal receptions. Built in 1916, the house has 34 rooms filled with an eclectic array of 15th- to 19th-century furniture and art, overlooking Biscayne Bay. Rooms are most resplendent during the holidays, when opulently decorated Christmas trees and decorations fill the mansion.

Vizcaya is a beautiful, peaceful estate. It is rich in history and the architecture is fabulous. Unfortunately, the effects of hurricanes have altered its original state, but it is still worth visiting.
- Pros: architecture, view, ambience
- Cons: food is limited
