There’s More to Fort Lauderdale Than the Beach
Tourists staying at one of the many hotels in the Fort Lauderdale Beach neighbourhood are in for a treat – they can find top attractions right outside their door, with over seven kilometres of the pristine sands of Fort Lauderdale Beach a short walk away. Nearby must-see urban adventures include a stop at the Bonnet House Museum and Gardens. Built in 1920, the house and gardens aim to preserve a piece of South Florida’s past, and tell a fascinating story of the former homeowners.

Tourists who are tired of pounding the pavement in the hot, humid Fort Lauderdale weather can take a break inside the air-conditioned shops of the Galleria at Fort Lauderdale, or take a trip over to the Museum of Science and Discovery to see one of the top things to do in Fort Lauderdale.
