One of the most spectacular and exciting events anywhere is the Fort Lauderdale air show. The show draws millions of spectators with their eyes fixed on the sky, and tens of thousands of boats. You can be sitting having lunch at an outdoor restaurant or walking on the beach, having a picnic in a park or sailing in the ocean -- and at the same time watching the greatest show on earth, with demonstrations by the best military and civilian air and sea performers using the most spectacular equipment there is. The event is accompanied by free jazz concerts, fireworks, and an overall atmosphere of festivities that for two days turn Ft. Lauderdale beach into the site of a carnival.
Tourist Attractions in Fort Lauderdale
A tourist attraction is a place of interest to tourists -- no surprise there. Tourist attractions come in lots of forms, including historical places and monuments, theme parks, festivals and carnivals, museums and art galleries, ethnic communities, historic trains, and cultural events, botanical gardens and zoos, buildings and structures (e.g., theaters, opera houses, castles, libraries, large buildings of any sort, bridges, state houses, mansions, and more), national parks and forests. The list is virtually endless. Many tourist attractions are also national or state landmarks. Many tourist attractions are advertised on billboards along the highways to make motorists aware of the unique content they have to offer. Free information about tourist attractions is abundantly available in brochures and flyers at information centers, restaurants, bed and breakfast establishment, hotel and motel lobbies, and rest areas. Many tourist attractions provide memorable experiences for visitors, but some charge high admission fees for sub-standard content and overcharge for food and souvenirs. These are not proper tourist attractions but rather tourist traps.
Fort Lauderdale Attractions
America is the land of attractions. From New York City to San Francisco, from Detroit to Houston, from San Diego to Ft. Lauderdale, there are attractions by the bucket, by the tub, by the schooner. There are attractions all around you, outside your bed and breakfast or discount hotel, around the corner from your business, and minutes from the airport or train station.
Resort Lodging in Ft. Lauderdale for Active Vacationers
Maybe you need plenty of room for people and equipment on your active vacation. In this case, resort lodging is probably your best choice. These fine vacation rentals, luxury homes, lodges, condos, and chalets come in an infinite variety of styles and price ranges. If your special interest is in the area of summer activities that involve water (boating, sailing, fishing, swimming, boogie boarding, snorkeling, surfing, diving, whatnot) Ft. Lauderdale is where you want to be. This is still true if you prefer to stay on dry land, golfing, biking, and hiking. In all these cases, you can expect to find all the necessary amenities in your specially outfitted resort lodge. Most of them feature indoor or outdoor heated pools, exercise rooms, hot tubs, and jacuzzis. They are equipped with all kitchen appliances, washer and dryer, and the storage you need for your equipment. Many of them have decks with views, skylights, and other special accents. And they are close to beaches and trails.
If you haven't used budget accommodation in Ft. Lauderdale for some time, you may be surprised by what you'll find. Ft. Lauderdale discount hotels are not what they used to be. (But neither is anything else, of course.) Today some of the low-budget hotels and motels in Ft. Lauderdale provide services and amenities that not long ago were the exclusive domain of luxury accommodation. Features like in-room coffee machines, microwaves, in-room safes, and refrigerators are pretty much standard issue. In-room movie channels, direct-dial phones, and high-speed Internet access are common. And most discount hotels have on-site laundry facilities, banquet and meeting rooms, gift stores, swimming pools, and fitness centers. Rooms feature comfortable king or a pair of double beds, and many have family suites and even kid suites. Practically all budget hotels offer free continental breakfast, and some have room service or telephone orders from affiliated nearby restaurants. Almost all hotels offer non-smoking and special rooms for the handicapped. In addition, most discount hotels are centrally located, usually near major attractions.
