The best proposal destinations around the world
So, what was taken into consideration when picking the third best proposal destination in the world? The study factored everything from accessibility to cultural impact, giving Vizcaya Museum & Gardens an impressive overall score of 77/100. They praised Vizcaya’s strong score in accessibility, thanks to its proximity to the Metrorail and thoughtful modifications for visitors, though caution is advised on uneven surfaces. The estate also scored well for amenities, for offering restrooms, a café and a gift shop to ensure a seamless and memorable visit.
Cost of entry ($25), noise level (a tranquil environment) and its cultural diversity while preserving early 20th-century history further reinforced it as a top destination.
“Inside, you’ll find ornate interiors, while outside, there are waterfront views and secluded paths, all of which provide a stunning setting for the big moment,” the study reads. “Extra tip: take the online virtual tour before visiting to decide on your perfect spot ahead of time.”
