Vizcaya Museum & Gardens Complete Tour (4K)
YouTube Video Description↓
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 ;-). See the official visitor map for Vizcaya here: http://www.vizcaya.org/library/visitor-map.pdf
