Downtown Fort Lauderdale

Las Olas Boulevard is the heartbeat of the city and runs from Downtown along the waterfront to the beach. The street is lined with shops, bars, and restaurants catering to all tastes. Kids will love the Museum of Discovery and Science, which has animal exhibits, airplane simulators, and an IMAX 3D theater. Art lovers should check out the NSU Art Museum to see a great collection of modern pieces, including some Picasso sculptures. Your hotel near Downtown Fort Lauderdale will give you easy access to all this and more.

Fort Lauderdale Beach is the main attraction in the city, and you'll be drawn there sooner or later. The white sand beach stretches seven miles along the Atlantic coast and is the ideal spot for sunbathing and swimming. The Promenade, which runs alongside the beach, is a haven for sporty types to run, skate, or cycle. No trip to the "Venice of America" would be complete without a boat trip on the city's canals. Most Downtown Fort Lauderdale hotels will be able to organize a cruise for you, or you can take the water taxi or even rent a boat and do it yourself!
