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.

You'll explore and learn at Stranahan House and The Wolfsonian - Florida International University. Your inner history buff will appreciate Coral Castle and History Fort Lauderdale. Venture out of the city with trips to Miami (Deering Estate & Little Havana), Miami Beach (Jewish Museum of Florida - FIU & 12th Street Beach) and Museum of the Everglades (in Everglades City). And it doesn't end there: see the interesting displays at Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens, contemplate the long history of Coral Gables Merrick House and Gardens, enjoy some diversion at Venetian Pool, and get a new perspective on things with Jungle Queen Riverboats.
