Fort Lauderdale is quite simply a vacation paradise and is visited by well over 10 million people every year.
Fort Lauderdale is known as being the US’s counterpart to Venice, due to its many inland waterways that wind through the pathways and narrow streets. There are approximately 42.000 docked yachts, as well as 100 marinas and shipyards. At the same time, the city is characterized by large million dollar villas and the amazing life along the gorgeous beaches.
Fort Lauderdale is not just a vacation paradise. It also holds important, historical monuments. In the city, there are a number of forts that were built by the US during the Second Seminole War (The Florida War in 1835-1842). These forts took their name after Major William Lauderdale, who was the commander of the soldiers, who built the first fort. Three forts still stand today as being a part of “Fort Lauderdale” and they are worth a visit. They exude of history and testify the meaning of the American legacy.
Fort Lauderdale is located in the southernmost part of the US, which also means that the climate is tropical. There are palm trees everywhere and it is never cold. On average, it is never below 25 degrees Celsius, but it is neither higher than 33 degrees Celsius, which means that the temperatures are at a comfortable level. Just the fact that the weather is that good, attracts many tourists. Because many tourists flock to the city, there have been established a large amount of restaurants, night clubs and hotels in the area. The area has over 4.000 restaurants and 120 night clubs. In other words, if you like to party, there are plenty of options for that. The city is locally called “Fort Liquordale”, as a sign of the many beaches, bars, night clubs and due to being a spring break destination for young college students.
In spite of this culture, Fort Lauderdale is actually known for its great educations and clever youth. So if you are not into partying, you can just choose a different part of the city. It offers a great deal of cultural aspects as well. The entertainment- and art district called Riverwalk Arts & Entertainment District extend from the beach to the center of the city. Here, cultural performances take place, but music festivals are also held here in the district that focuses on the cultural part of town.
