Vizcaya has welcomed U.S officials for decades, including former presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, as well as foreign leaders like Queen Elizabeth II, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia, and Pope John Paul II. Also, major international events have taken place have been held at Vizcaya, including the Summit of the Americas and the signing of the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas. Now, photoshoots and even wedding are held here.



  Vizcaya still preserves most of its old furnishings as well as the historic layout of the gardens. The mansion is surrounded by acres of European-style gardens with fountains and statuary. The pièce de résistance, carved out of Florida limestone in the shape of an oversized Venetian barge is found sitting in the bay at the backside of the mansion.

Wynwood Walls

The Wynwood Walls are quite the sight to see!




The walls started with Tony Goldman, committed to graffiti and street art. His goal was to give this type of art more attention as well as respect. The Wynwood Walls have brought many amazing artists from around the world to Miami. Many have come from the United States, Brazil, Belgium, Mexico, Portugal, Ukraine, Greece, Spain, Germany, France, England, Japan, and Singapore to contribute their own works of art. Some Wynwood artists include, Kenny Scharf, Momo, Ben Wolf, Brandon Opalka, Faith 47, and many more.
