Finding the estate

Vizcaya stands on Biscayne Bay in the Coconut Grove neighbourhood of Miami. Admissions is at the Piazza.

• By Metrorail: the entrance is about a 10-minute walk from Vizcaya station; the Brickell Trolley also stops nearby.
• By car or rideshare: parking on site is free, and rideshare drop-off is at the Piazza.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• A café and shop beside the Main House, for visitors with admission.
• Accessible toilets on the south side of the Main House and near the Garden Mound.
• Free parking on site.
• An audio tour, included with admission.

Travel light: there is no bag check, and large bags are not allowed in the Main House. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

Enter the Main House by the ramp and lift on its south side; the second floor is not wheelchair accessible. Garden paths are mainly dirt and gravel, and wheelchairs can be borrowed on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• Strollers are welcome in the gardens; only single strollers less than 25 inches wide may enter the Main House.
• Ask museum staff for assistance or directions during your visit.

Enjoy the estate thoughtfully

• Keep to the visitor paths, walk rather than run, and supervise children.
• Leave furniture, sculpture and plants untouched, and do not bring outside food or drink, drones or wagons.
• Smoking, vaping and pets are not permitted; service animals are welcome.
• Commercial photography and filming, including product promotion, need permission.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

A little care helps protect the house, the gardens and their atmosphere for everyone.

Make time for a pause

The café beside the Main House, next to the swimming pool grotto, is open to visitors with museum admission.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

Outside food and drink are not allowed, so plan a break at the café.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: go to Admissions at the Piazza and follow your ticket’s instructions.
• Dress for exploring: closed-toe, low-heeled shoes, sun protection and a charged phone make the day easier.
• Leave space to linger: allow extra time for the Main House, the formal gardens and the views over the bay.
