Fort Lauderdale is a taste of paradise, with miles of crystal-blue waterways, golden sands, ocean breezes, boundless entertainment and cultural possibilities. For years, Fort Lauderdale was known for its chaotic spring-break crowd. Recently, however, the area was renovated to include a sequence of spotless beaches, restaurants, bars and retail stores. The Fort Lauderdale Promenade has transformed the area into a well-maintained shopping district for the yachting crowd, where one can jog, walk, skate, bike or go boating.
Located downtown is the Riverwalk which links together many of Fort Lauderdale's entertainment, shopping, dining and nightlife hotspots. Following the banks of the winding New River, Riverwalk includes an extensive network of parks, museums, attractions, shops and educational institutions which extend from Las Olas Boulevard to the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. In the cultural district you will find the Museum of Discovery and Science and the Museum of Art. A stroll down Las Olas Boulevard will reward you with quaint sidewalk cafes, bookstores, specialty shops and various art galleries.
Enjoy the romance of natural beauty at Butterfly World or get your adrenaline going with thoroughbred racing at Gulfstream Park. Plan a spa day or a day cruise. Port Everglades, the deepest and best known harbor in the state, is home to more than 35 cruise-line ships. And local museums invite you to explore and enjoy acclaimed art, culture, history and science exhibits.
In addition, world-class entertainment awaits, with diverse events, venues, and gaming all within reach. Fort Lauderdale has always been a center for fun, and as it continues to reinvent itself, remains a hot spot destination! From blue waters and beautiful beaches, to exotic Everglades and fabulous nightlife–the more you discover, the more you'll love Fort Lauderdale!
