Miami Must-Visit Renaissance Hidden Gem | Historic Estate 📍

Built over a decade by American industrialist James Deering in the early 1900s, this dreamy estate is now one of Miami's most historic and picturesque spots. The main villa blends Italian Renaissance architecture with tropical elements, and it's even been featured in Iron Man 2! 🏰 🌟 **Story and Highlights:** ▫️ The estate was designed by European and American designers, with entire ships of antique European furniture brought over, and even the stone steps sourced from the Mediterranean. ▫️ The main hall's mirror gallery is a replica of a 17th-century Venetian palace, where Victoria Beckham and the Met Gala team have both filmed. ▫️ The seaside stone steps are a classic photo spot, and Fast & Furious filmed its iconic sunset car chase scene here. 🌴 **Garden Inspiration:** The 10-hectare garden is divided into four themed areas, from French fountains to Cuban coral stone shores. The designer intentionally preserved the original mangroves, allowing European sculptures to coexist with tropical plants. ⚠️ 📷 **Photography Tips:** ① In the afternoon, when sunlight filters through the palm fronds, the courtyard arcade's light and shadow effects are the most photogenic. ② Wear a plain-colored long dress with a straw hat to harmonize with the architectural tones. ③ Don't miss the century-old orchids in the greenhouse; some species are rare treasures transplanted when the garden was established. ℹ️ **Practical Information:** Admission: $25 | Closed on Wednesdays Allow 3 hours to visit the museum first and then explore the garden (the indoor air conditioning is very strong!). #MiamiMustVisit #MiamiTravelTips #MiamiBucketList #MiamiVacation #MiamiInstagrammable #VizcayaMuseumAndGardens #UnbelievablePhotoSpots #MiamiPhotoLocations #HealingArchitecture #MiamiBeach
