Vizcaya Museums and Gardens

A strongly-recommended gay Miami attraction a outside of Miami Beach! Miami Vizcaya Museum is a big unusual mansion, which features a big Victorian style garden. This gay-friendly Miami attraction could be compared to a European palace for its beauty and dimension. The Vizcaya mansion was built in the 20th century by personalities who wanted to leave a legacy to generations to follow. This palace was built by 3 young inexperienced but yet talented men, a failed painter, an art scholar and a young architect. The client, James Deering, the son of the founder of the Deering Company, devoted his energy to bring this Miami landmark up.

Miami Vizcaya Museum and Gardens is in all Miami travel guides. There are tours available for everyone at this gay-friendly Miami attraction. It is a quick visit on your way either to Key Biscayne or Coconut Grove.
