Fort Lauderdale is sometimes called the Venice of America. Although the European Venice has a lot more history and more monuments, Fort Lauderdale is probably just as popular with tourists - with over 3,000 miles of navigable waterways and miles of golden beaches, it’s a great destination.
In recent years Fort Lauderdale has reinvented itself. Fort Lauderdale Beach has undergone a $26-million renovation. You can eat lunch at cafes overlooking the water or visit shops along the beach.
The city offers many options for dining, entertainment, and shopping. The Broward Center for the Performing Arts features many Broadway shows throughout the year. On Las Olas Boulevard you will find a multitude of art galleries, eclectic boutiques, and sidewalk cafes. Dining options range from Cuban-American cuisine to fresh seafood caught in the Atlantic Ocean.
