 Getting around the city of Fort Lauderdale has never been easier. With there being so much in this beautiful city, you want to ensure you see some of the things that have made this city so popular, during your stay.
If you prefer doing your sightseeing via a cruise, the Tropic Princess is one choice that people have enjoyed for years. This cruise will float along the New River and Intracoastal Waterways where you can enjoy first-hand the sights of Millionaire's Row, where one gorgeous estate after another lines the beach as well as the yachts owned by these millionaires. Stops at that Broward Center for the Performing Arts and the Museum of Discovery and Science are also included. For the shopaholic, do not worry, there is something for you as well. In fact, you will be taken to two of the most popular shopping areas in all of Florida, Riverwalk and Las Olas Shoppers. These two areas are so popular that in reality, people come from around the world to enjoy the warm sunny days and bargains galore.
 If you prefer to view the city from the air, Hot Air Excursions will provide you with a bird's eye view of Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding area. Excursions generally last two and one half hours and runs every day of the week. If you want to celebrate a special occasion, pour on the romance, or just have a quiet, refreshing adventure, try the early morning or sunset excursions. The hot air balloon can comfortably hold from three to five people and if you have a group, you can book several balloons to sail all at once. A part of the tradition is as the flight concludes; you will be treated to champagne, crackers and cheese, and fresh strawberries. If you are trying to choose the perfect gift for someone hard to buy for, Hot Air Excursions provides gift certificates, which are $150 for adults, $125 for children age ten to fourteen and $75 for children under the age of nine. For the larger groups, special discounts are available.
If you want to enjoy some of the history in Fort Lauderdale, the International Swimming Hall of Fame and Museum is a great option and perfect for a family outing. At this museum, you will see on display memorabilia for such greats as Annette Kellerman who was arrested in 1908 for the swimsuit she wore. Other displays include Stubby Kruger's clown-diving costume that he wore when he toured around the world with the Aquacades. Johnny Weissmueller's Olympic medals are also on display as well as exhibits honoring Mark Spitz and Greg Louganis. This museum is conveniently located on the beach in Fort Lauderdale, combines the history and magic of the sport of swimming, and presents it in a way that everyone can enjoy.
