OK, if you’re visiting Florida looking for a fairytale-experience, people probably expect you to hightail it over to Walt Disney World. And sure, Cinderella’s Castle is undoubtedly about as fairytale as it gets, but there are other beautiful, picturesque spots in Florida that just scream storybook and are a bit quieter. Consider heading down south to Miami and seeing Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, and you’ll see exactly what we mean.

The beautiful estate and its surrounding Italianite gardens will have you feeling like you teleported to the pages of a Brothers Grimm story with a Floridian twist. Best of all, the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens is located on the waterfront, so you’ll have views of the ocean, too. Take advantage of the audio tour to learn more about the estate, which was once home to businessman James Deering, or simply wander around at your own leisure, soaking in the unforgettable sights.

Vizcaya Museum may have been built as an estate all the way back in 1916, but it’s still one of the prettiest places in Florida.
