5 days in Fort Lauderdale Itinerary

Known as the "Venice of America" because of its extensive network of navigable waterways, Fort Lauderdale welcomes over 10 million annual visitors, most of them attracted by the city's popular beaches and marinas.

Explore Fort Lauderdale's surroundings by going to Miami (Barnacle State Historic Site, Walking tours, &more), Scuba & Snorkeling (in Key Largo) and Shark Valley Visitor Center (in Everglades National Park). And it doesn't end there: enjoy the sand and surf at Fort Lauderdale Beach, stroll through South Beach, get engrossed in the history at Stranahan House, and take a stroll through Lincoln Road.
