Country and People
Customs / Culture
Fort Lauderdale is renowned for its beaches and for its local culture and arts. Visitors enjoy riding gondolas along the canals including the Cypress Creek Canal which divides North West Fort Lauderdale from the rest of the city.
Traditions
In the 1960s, an artificial reef was created out of car tyres and people joined in by donating worn tyres to be dumped to create the reef. Unfortunately, the straps used to contain the tyres corroded and tyres regularly wash up on the shore. Now, residents habitually collect the washed-up tyres from the beach for more ecologically friendly disposal. Despite the tyres, tourism is very big business especially when giant cruise ships sail into Port Everglades.
Religion
Most of the Christian denominations are represented.

Culinary SpecialitiesNumerous local restaurants provide a wide variety of fish dishes served in numerous culinary styles. Eating well and eating relatively inexpensively are both possible in Fort Lauderdale.
Lifestyle
Famous for attracting students out for a good time during their Spring Break in the 1980s, Fort Lauderdale now attracts much older and considerably wealthier tourists that disgorge from the cruise ships. The city’s skyline is dominated by the recently built twin towers of the Las Olas River House, which is a forty-two storey residential skyscraper in Broward County. Despite the wealth of the city, the recession has hit hard with many residents losing their homes to foreclosures.
Sights
Broad highways, wide beaches, palm trees and a migrating population that likes to winter in the city, Fort Lauderdale offers a modern, convenient metropolis that is easy for visitors to enjoy whether sunning on the beach, sifting through Fort Lauderdale’s “flea” market or following a nature trail in the 180-acre Hugh Taylor Birch State Park.

the hotel was 2011 completely renovated and in a a dream oasis transformed. Very large and durchgestylte rooms, which leaves nothing to be desired. A part of the room is located in the front part of the pools where it was a bit louder and the other part is located by the back pool where noise returns. Great King beds with many cushions.
the bathrooms could be a little bigger, but for my needs, the large shower completely enough for us. The only thing that bothered me somewhat, was the missi... Read more
