Los Rincones de Miami

A Tourist in Miami

So let me tell you a huge mistake of mine: I have never been a tourist in Miami. I have lives in Miami for the past 9 years and never explored its grounds. Well, in Weston to be more specific, which is like 40min away from downtown. You might think its very far away but for us in South Florida it is a daily thing to be in the car for more than an hour stuck in traffic.

This past weekend though, I decided it was time venture into the city and explore it. For a long time I’ve been wanting to visit Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, so I said to myself “Why not now?”

First of all, what a B E A U T I FU L place! The gardens are breathtaking and the house itself is just amazing. To be able to see a historic place like this is just incredible. The house was built in the early 1900s by the coat of Miami. The view form the house is gorgeous. I leave you below the photos I took while visiting the place for you to see.

If you live in Miami and have never been to Vizcaya, please do yourself a favor and write it on your to-do list. If you are planning on visiting Miami, take a morning, or afternoon and visit this place. Believe me, you won’t be disappointed.

For those of you asking yourself while reading this, yes there is a cost to enter but it’s minimal and for my college student followers they offer student discount!

So from now on, I think I am going to be a tourist in Miami. I would love to explore more of my city.

So my blogger instinct decided what I should wear for this exciting tourist adventure, but what I would really recommend is to go very comfortable. Specially now, that summer is approaching, I would recommend a flow-y dress and some cute sandals (comfortable ones) or whatever outfit you find comfortable and cute, because believe me the scenery is great for an instagram-perfect photo!

      I asked myself the same question when I went in to the gardens, I couldn’t believe this was just in the heart of the city! It was built around a century ago!

    First of all, I love your outfit. It perfectly embodies that 70s vibe that is so in now. I live in a very small town, so there isn’t much to be touristy about. However, one of my favorite spots not to far from here is the Ringling Museum in Sarasota. It’s like being transported to another time.

    This place looks amazing… it doesn’t even look like the states. If I were to place it, it could easily be stuck in the centre of Rome, Italy.

    I love your outfit and these pictures are beautiful! We love it when we make time to explore our city. The kids activities and school keep us so busy, it’s a real treat when we can just decompress and visit a cool place we haven’t been before. NC is naturally such a beautiful state to live in and you’re making me want to visit some gorgeous free gardens 20 minutes away I still haven’t been to!

    Oh Vizcaya is always a dream to visit for me. You should check out Deering Estate, I feel I took far too long to see it and I’m kicking myself. Sometimes you see manatees 😀

    Miami is a fun city, and full of culture. I live in Florida too, occasionally we do a few tourist days around town just to kind of enjoy the area a little more.
