It’s no surprise that Miami’s sun-kissed skies and glimmering turquoise beaches are picture perfect.

So bring your camera and strike a pose because these are the best spots for a photo op.

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens

Botanical Garden, Museum, Park

Vizcaya
It may come as a surprise that in the ultra-modern cosmopolitan city there lies a 1920s colonial villa with French-style gardens and a mosaic pool—but yes, it exists. Vizcaya has been the ultimate spot for quinceañera and wedding pictures due to its scenic views of Biscayne Bay and opulent interiors.

Crema Gourmet

Bar, Cafe

Another cutie on the scene is Crema, but you’ll have to drive all the way to the suburbs of Coral Gables for it. Anything for the ‘gram, eh? The café is perched in a pink building with an outdoor terrace boasting a row of perfectly round white tables and Parisian rattan chairs. Croissants and coffee make the cut.

Versace Mansion on Ocean Drive

Designed with all the glamour of an Italian villa, the courtyards and lavish pool will make you look like a million bucks.
