Description
The big city of Fort Lauderdale boasts a variety of cultural, historical, and social activities. In the downtown area along the New River, points of interest include the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, the Museum of Discovery and Science, the Museum of Arts, and the historic Stranahan House (all within walking distance of each other). Fort Lauderdale's beaches are, of course, a popular draw. Stroll, bike, or skate along Atlantic Boulevard and the Beach Promenade, or take part in the many watersports available, such as kite surfing. Fort Lauderdale is also known as the "Venice of America," due to its extensive canal system. A water taxi tour along the inland canals will give you easy and inexpensive access to major points throughout the city, as well as allow you a glimpse of the rich and famous along what's known as "Millionaire's Row."
