Not necessarily. A mixture can be anything that contains 2 or more substances, like sand and sugar or water and olive oil. In a solution one of the substances has been dissolved in the other, that is to say, one of them has been split up in parts too small to see with the naked eye. Styrofoam in gasoline is a solution. Sugar in water is also a solution and so is tea in water. The tea-leaves however have not dissolved and are not part of the solution.

The easiest way to tell if something is a solution is to see if it is transparent (you could see though it, even if it's colored) or opaque.

Yes, a solution is always a mixture, but a mixture is not always a solution.
