As I got ready for my day of exploring, I pumped up the volume on my favorite tunes and tuned into season two of Cambria Hotels’ podcast, Travel Inspired with Cambria Hotels, using the built-in Bluetooth speakers. The setup was effortless and it was super convenient to connect to my iPhone. I absolutely loved this feature!

Must-See Sights and Attractions in Ft. Lauderdale, FL
In addition to the fantastic accommodations at Cambria Hotel Fort Lauderdale Beach, I had the privilege of exploring the area with the guidance of a local expert. How awesome is that?
Let me take you on a journey and show you some of the places I visited during my vacation in Ft. Lauderdale.
Riverfront Gondola Tour
The Riverfront Gondola Tour in Ft. Lauderdale is a unique and romantic way to see the city from a different perspective. The tour takes place on a Venetian-style gondola, which is operated by an experienced gondolier who navigates the canals and waterways of the city.
Along the way, you’ll pass by beautiful homes, yachts, and mansions, and you’ll learn about the history and culture of the area from your knowledgeable guide. The tour is a great way to take in the scenery and enjoy a peaceful and relaxing experience on the water.
While on the tour, you can order food while on the tour from a local restaurant called Casa Sensei. Casa Sensei is an Asian-Latin fusion restaurant located in Fort Lauderdale. The restaurant offers a diverse menu that combines the flavors and cooking techniques of Asia and Latin America.
The gondola tour was an unforgettable experience. The waterfront homes were immaculate and had fascinating backstories. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the homeowners, architectural designs, and more.
I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Ft. Lauderdale. It’s an easy 10/10!
Las Olas Boulevard
No visit to Ft. Lauderdale is complete without a stop at Las Olas Boulevard, renowned as the city’s premier shopping and dining destination situated within the upscale community of Las Olas Isles and Fort Lauderdale Beach.
There are countless amazing places to explore and shop! If you’re driving, you’ll find ample parking options along the entire length of the Boulevard. Alternatively, you can arrive by taxi, ride-share services such as Lyft or Uber, or try Fort Lauderdale’s famous Water Taxi, which looked pretty cool!
During my leisurely walk along the Boulevard, I stumbled upon a charming local shop called South Moon Under. The store’s aesthetic is beachy and bohemian, with a focus on contemporary, casual styles. South Moon Under also offers personal styling and free shipping on orders over a certain amount.
Sloan’s
Sloan’s in Fort Lauderdale is a popular ice cream shop that offers a variety of flavors and toppings. Customers can choose from classic flavors like chocolate and vanilla or more unique options like cotton candy and blueberry cheesecake.
They also have a selection of sorbets, vegan options, and low-fat options for those with dietary restrictions. In addition to ice cream, Sloan’s also offers a range of baked goods such as brownies, cookies, and cakes. Customers can customize their orders with various toppings like sprinkles, hot fudge, whipped cream, and fresh fruit.
Lauderdale by the sea
Did you know that Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is a charming town located in Broward County, just a little over 30 miles north of Miami? This beautiful town boasts a variety of attractions, including bars, dining options, live music, shopping, and, of course, the beach!
As you plan your trip to Ft Lauderdale, be sure to check out some other exciting spots, such as the Bonnet House Museum & Gardens, which will transport you back to the early 20th century with its stunning architecture and beautiful gardens.
