Fort Lauderdale

The Florida peninsula is renowned for its vast network of beaches, and Fort Lauderdale is no exception! There’s a seaside spot for everyone. Don your sandals and head off along the shores of the Atlantic to feel the ocean breeze on your skin. If you’re looking to walk on fine sand, visit Las Olas Beach. For a family atmosphere, try Dania Beach. There’s also the lively feel of Fort Lauderdale Beach.

Fort Lauderdale is so much more than its beaches—it’s also known for its urban art exhibits. The Flagler Arts & Technology Village is a true playground for local artists with its exhibits, murals and art galleries. Head to the Museum of Discovery & Science for interactive activities for the whole family or the NSU Art Museum for displays and works on history and civilization.

In the mood for a little saunter? On foot or by bike, the Riverwalk along the New River is a great way to access many of the region’s attractions. Parks, restaurants, picnic areas, movie theatres, and shops are just some of the spots you’ll come across.

Beyond its beaches, Florida is a treasure trove of history and culture. Art and history museums will take you back in time and to fascinating creative worlds. Picturesque historical neighbourhoods and heritage sites are symbols of the peninsula’s storied past. The region has been shaped by a number of cultural influences—Indigenous and Latin-American, in particular—which continue to be expressed through art, food and architecture.
