This quirky city on the sand has culture and nightlife to boot.
Fort Lauderdale may have gained a reputation as a beach city given its location on Florida’s southeastern coast, but there’s a lot more to see once you step off the sand. From historic museums and architecture to a must-visit art museum and meditative gardens and parks, Fort Lauderdale is much more than a swimsuit town. And the beach views aren’t the only worthwhile waterfront scenes. Known as the "Venice of America," Fort Lauderdale's unique system of residential canals offers a whole new way to see the city.
