Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale is Miami's lower-key neighbor — the beach is cleaner, the traffic is manageable, and the intercoastal waterway gives it a Venice-of-America nickname that's partially earned. Las Olas Boulevard has enough restaurants and bars to fill three days without repeating. It's also the cruise port capital of the world, which means good cheap international flights into FLL.
