Discover Fort Lauderdale

A vibrant coastal city known for its beaches, waterways, and relaxed South Florida lifestyle.

Life on the Water

Nicknamed the “Venice of America,” Fort Lauderdale is home to an extensive network of inland waterways and canals that connect neighborhoods, downtown, and the Atlantic Ocean. From water taxis and sightseeing cruises to peaceful kayaking routes, there are many ways to experience the city from the water.

Beaches and Sunshine

Fort Lauderdale beach is one of the most popular destinations, offering wide stretches of sand, calm surf, and convenient access to shops, restaurants, and hotels along its signature beachfront promenade.

 

Nearby beach towns such as Hollywood and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea add to the appeal. Each has local restaurants, live music, and an easy-going atmosphere.

Arts, Culture, and Entertainment

Fort Lauderdale’s downtown and Riverwalk areas form the center of its cultural life. The Riverwalk Arts & Entertainment District features major attractions like the Broward Center for Performing Arts, NSU Art Museum, and several local galleries.

 

Las Olas Boulevard is a hub for dining, shopping, and nightlife, offering everything from outdoor cafes and boutiques to live music venues.

Gateway to South Florida

Located just north of Miami, Fort Lauderdale is an ideal starting point for exploring South Florida. Visitors can take an airboat ride through the nearby Everglades, visit nature parks and gardens, or shop at Sawgrass Mills, one of the largest outlet and value retail destinations in the United States.

 

The city combines the feel of a beach resort with the energy of a growing urban center, making it a great place to relax and explore.
