3. Miami Design District
The Miami Design District (MAD) is a one-of-a-kind neighborhood with a distinct culture, lifestyle, and vibrancy and is a must-see if you’re visiting Miami. It’s one of the city’s most popular neighborhoods, and home to some of the city’s most coveted restaurants, bars, and shops including the Faena Hotel & Residences.
4. The Vizcaya Museum and Gardens
Whether you’re a history buff or just enjoy beautiful spaces, Vizcaya is an ideal place to visit. The estate was built on Biscayne Bay at the beginning of the 20th century by James Deering (a wealthy businessman) and his family as a winter residence. Over time, it became one of America’s premier historic homes. Today, Vizcaya is open to visitors who can tour the house and really get a feel for what life was like in Miami during that time period, complete with period furniture among other artifacts. Vizcaya also hosts special events throughout the year like Sunrise Yoga or their annual Garden Party where guests can enjoy live music while taking in views from atop one of two observation towers overlooking Biscayne Bay.
5. The Cape Florida Lighthouse
The Cape Florida Lighthouse is the oldest structure in Miami, and it’s one of the most charming. The lighthouse was built in 1825 to warn ships of dangerous reefs along Biscayne Bay. It’s located on Key Biscayne, a barrier island that can only be reached by boat or ferry. The current lighthouse was built in 1846 after an earlier one was destroyed by a hurricane, but don’t worry, you won’t need any navigational skills to reach this one!
