Visit Fort Lauderdale
With an eternal vacation climate, year-round sunshine and always inviting sea, Fort Lauderdale is one of the best destinations in Florida for those who want to relax. Neighboring the bustling Miami, Fort Lauderdale conquers for the simplicity of everyday life and, of course, for the beautiful beach! Despite being very close to one of the most popular destinations in the United States, Fort Lauderdale still retains the air of a small town, but without losing all the refinement of the mansions and yachts that permeate the streets and canals of the region. And if you don't own a beautiful boat to sail, you don't have to worry. Just choose one of the many cruises that depart from Port Everglades to explore the wonderful beaches of the Caribbean that are just around the corner.
Fort Lauderdale is a very easy destination to explore. The city is small and there are no major tourist obligations to fulfill, so it is ideal for those who want to rest without blaming themselves for missing out on an important attraction. The best thing to do in Fort Lauderdale is to enjoy the beach (and swim to nearby Hollywood Beach and Lauderdale by The Sea), stroll along the canals along the Riverwalk, spend a Sunday at the park, take a boat ride, try delicious seafood and, of course, invest in outlet shopping! It is also worth riding a bike, running along the waterfront and visiting some small museums and historic mansions. Oh! Without forgetting, of course, to stop by Miami.
Fort Lauderdale's tourist attractions are well concentrated and in two or three days you can visit them all, but the best thing is to get into the city's atmosphere and enjoy everything without haste, enjoying every minute of sun and sea. Starting to tour Fort Lauderdale's attractions by the beach is a great idea. The city offers more than 10 km of white sand, an impeccable coastline and a truly spectacular sea. Take advantage of Fort Lauderdale Beach to have a very American breakfast overlooking the ocean and then continue with the tour. If you want to see more beaches, try nearby Hollywood Beach and Lauderdale By The Sea Beach, both great for an all-day stroll.
Returning to Fort Lauderdale, it is possible to enjoy a bit of the marina that runs along the city's canals, always full of boats and yachts. To get to know the waters that cut through Fort Lauderdale better, it's worth taking a Water Taxi. A good stop to start is Las Olas Boulevard, the city's main restaurant street and where most of the nightlife is.
In the same region, walk along the Riverwalk. The waterfront, along the canals, takes visitors on a delightful walk through the historic center. During a short walk, you will see some of the oldest mansions in the city, including the Stranahan House Museum. The museum is a great starting point for exploring the Riverwalk. The canalside route will also take you to Huizenga Plaza Park, the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art, Esplanade Park, the Museum of Discovery and Science and the Historic District, where you can get a taste of old-time Fort Lauderdale.
Fort Lauderdale is indeed a delightful city. There are no big buildings on the waterfront, the strip of sand is huge and the waterfront is great for walking, running, biking, playing with the kids and much more! Fort Lauderdale Beach's infrastructure is enviable. There are lifeguard stations all along the waterfront, picnic spots, playgrounds for children and street furniture for exercise. All this with bars, cafes and restaurants by the sea. Not to mention that the beach is very clean and the water is excellent for a swim.
The most famous stretch of Fort Lauderdale Beach is the Las Olas area, but the beach is much bigger and every bit of it has a special vibe. Good choice to spend all day enjoying without rush. In addition to Fort Lauderdale Beach, it is also worth going to nearby Hollywood Beach and Lauderdale by The Sea. Both with an inviting atmosphere and also full of attractions. Not forgetting, of course, neighboring Miami, which has one of the most popular beaches in Florida: South Beach! See more about Fort Lauderdale's beaches.
With a small-town feel, Fort Lauderdale isn't full of tourist attractions other than the beaches. The places to visit are few and in two or three days you will have seen everything from parks to museums. The place with the greatest concentration of attractions is downtown, between Las Olas Boulevard and the Riverwalk. There, it is possible to visit the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art, the Museum of Discovery and Science and the historic center, where the Stranahan House Museum is located, which operates in one of the few remaining original houses in the city. This entire region is surrounded by the Riverwalk, a beautiful waterfront that borders the canals and is delicious, especially in the late afternoon. On weekends, be sure to check out if there is cultural programming in the parks in the region, especially at Esplanade Park (where there is a delicious brunch with Jazz on the first Sunday of each month) and at Huizenga Park, which offers a stage for concerts.
Another good trip is to combine a visit to the Hugh Taylor Birch State Park and the Bonnet House Museum & Gardens. The two attractions are neighbors and offer lots of greenery and beautiful gardens, all by the sea. The Hugh Taylor has a great children's play area, is inviting for a long bike ride and is located on the beachfront. The Bonnet House Museum houses the fine art collection of one of the pioneering families in Fort Laudardale. With a very exotic taste, the house becomes one of the best attractions in the city, especially for those who love art, design and architecture.
Famous not only for its beaches, but also for the canals that cut through the city, Fort Lauderdale is full of boats and yachts. A walking tour of the Riverwalk will give you a little bit of the scale of the local nautical market, but only on a boat trip will you really be able to see the number of boats – many of them of astronomical values – that circulate between the millionaires houses of Fort Lauderdale. There are several tour options, and the most common route follows the canals along the Riverwalk to Port Everglades, where you can see some large cruise ships and yachts at anchor. During the tour, it is common for the audio of the boat to warn about famous homeowners, many artists and great American businessmen, but the truth is that five minutes after the journey you will no longer remember their names. In memory, the beautiful view of the canals and the beautiful boats that decorate the landscape will remain.
One of the best tour options, for those who don't just want to see the landscape, is the Water Taxi (with yellow colors). The pass is valid for the whole day and you can make several stops, always at points of interest and tourist attractions in the city. The basic ticket price is USD 26 and there are boats every half hour at stopping points identified with the boat's brand. The route has 22 stops in total, including Las Olas Boulevard, Esplanade Park, Hugh Taylor Birch Park, Hilton Marina and Hollywood Beach. Great for those who have little time but want to see it all.
Each trip to Fort Lauderdale is better than the last. Each discovery impresses and proves how amazing this place is. You can travel there as a child, teenager, adult or elderly, which will all be different and surprising trips. Fort Lauderdale is democratic, appeals to all tastes and involves tourists.
