Discover What Makes Fort Lauderdale the “Venice of America”
Travel Talk with Ed Finn in Association with Destination Cleveland
Saturday, 13 April 2024 - 15 minutes
In this week's Travel Talk Ed chatted with Tracy Vaughan from Visit Lauderdale - SVP for Global Trade Development - “Venice of America” is more than a humble-brag on Fort Lauderdale’s official city seal. It is this destination’s world-famous sobriquet, a nickname based on the 300 miles of inland waterways that run through Greater Fort Lauderdale, with about 165 of those miles in the city of Fort Lauderdale itself.
When locals and visitors call this tropical destination the Venice of America, it’s because these winding ribbons of waterways aren’t just for show. The extra bragging rights come from how Greater Fort Lauderdale makes good use of them, cultivating a water-lover’s lifestyle that you can enjoy year-round under the warm Florida sunshine.
