What To Expect

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens

On the way to the Grove we will be passing by Vizcaya Museum and Gardens a lasting, gorgeous structure of European essence. Overlooking the pristine waters of Biscayne Bay, this beautiful estate offers a refreshing serenity to the otherwise extravagant and flashy rhythm of Miami. The stunning architecture attracts thousands of visitors a year, making it one of the city’s most popular sights. Vizcaya’s opulence made it not only popular with tourists, but also a target for thieves. In 1971, three New York residents raided and stole $1.5 million in art, jewelry, and collectibles. Three days later the robbers were found and caught in New York City; however, only a small fraction of the stolen items were recovered and brought back to Vizcaya.

Coconut Grove

After getting some history around Miami skyline we will be heading towards Coconut Grove. Coconut Grove – known to locals as "The Grove" – is one of the hippest, most energetic, most inviting corners of South Florida. Coconut Grove is home to Vizcaya Museum and Gardens and elegant hotels. Given his proximity to some of the Marinas around the area and home of the Mutiny Hotel a mecca for the 1980s' cocaine kingpins we will be driving through this luxury district and his houses getting a glimpse of how this area became a hot spot on the drug war on the 80s. This area is also known for its peacocks that roam about freely. We will have the chance to see them with their gorgeous shimmery colors and flashy tails

Miami City Hall

On the way to the Mutiny we will be passing by Miami City Hall. What is now Miami City Hall was built in 1934 by Pan American Airlines for its worldwide flying-boat terminal. The air terminal was sold to the city of Miami in 1946 and after a brief stint as Jackie Heller’s Dinner Key Terrace restaurant, the city converted the building into its City Hall in 1954
