The City
Besides its former reputation as a Spring Break hotspot, today’s Ft. Lauderdale is an affluent international business center. Moreover, it is well-known for its boat manufacturing and leisure time industry, which have earned it the nickname “Venice of America”.
Whether you like to relax in luxury spas, or rather go second hand shopping on big flea markets, the place has offers for every one and every pocket. Moreover, Fort Lauderdale hosts one of the world’s largest Drive-In cinemas for the perfect retro experience on screen.
