Fort Lauderdale Travel
Fort Lauderdale is Florida’s most sophisticated travel destination with an atmosphere of wide open beaches and boating and yachting activities.
Fort Lauderdale has been called the “Venice of America” because of detailed network of canals and Florida’s deepest port, Port Everglades, which makes it a major hub for the boating industry. The canals offer a scenic sightseeing, with many water taxis and aquatic city tours. While out on sea you can observe Florida’s numerous waterfront mansions that line the bays and canals. Ft Lauderdale’s closeness to the Caribbean makes cruise travel very convenient and easy out of Port Everglades.
Due the numerous city districts, travel to Fort Lauderdale is very diverse. The Strip (Ft Lauderdale Beach) became famous with the Spring Break crowd during the 1980s largely in part to the film “Where the Boys are”. Following the movie, Ft Lauderdale became a leading Spring Break destination in the US, often drawing thousands of teenage students yearly.
The city, however, grew impatient with its underage visitiors and imposed strict regulations on alchol consumption and wild behaviour. Ft Lauderdale then began to loose its appeal to the Spring Break crowd and instead transformed itself into the yatching and cruise capital of the world, catering both to smal individual yacht-owners and major cruise liners alike.
Travel to Fort Lauderdale and enjoy everything that the south Florida area has to offer. Ft Lauderdale is conveniently close to Miami’s South Beach resorts, clubs and restaurants and just a short drive to the expansive biodiversity of Florida’s Everglades. Additionally, booking your airfare to Fort Lauderdale today will get you that much closer to a luxurious Bahamas or Florida Keys vacation. Treat yourself to a tropical getaway right here in the United States.
