Why this plan works
The 3 stops cover about 3.2 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Miami instead of crossing town between them. Vizcaya Museum & Gardens is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Maurice A. Ferré Park — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to couples, friends, solo, and adults who want a planned Miami outing without improvising between stops.
