artists for free outdoor concerts from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. A bit farther east and you’re in the historic district, with the


Fort Lauderdale Historical Society, several old homes and, as you wish, the hopping restaurants and bars of old Him- marshee Village just north. Over the railroad tracks is Las Olas Riverfront, which the


city hopes to revitalize, then the green swath that is Huizenga Park and a block away the Museum of Art. Past the Tird Avenue Bridge you’ll find entry to the shop- ping and nightlife of Las Olas Boulevard, and a few hundred yards from the end of the path is the Stranahan House Mu- seum, where much of Fort Lauderdale’s history begins. All those attractions are worth experiencing. But just stroll- ing the Riverwalk itself is a calming, cool diversion that won’t cost you a thing. Even surrounded by the city, this is a path to take time out, a place to hear the birds, watch splashing fish. If you like drawbridges, this route boasts three, with rare views from underneath. From your vantage point, you can gloat that it’s not you stopped in traffic above. Benches dot the entire stretch, perfect spots to relax and soak in the tableau of boats and yachts bobbing at the docks or glittering past to adventures unknown. You can join them if you wish: at several locations along the way, a water taxi can be hailed to take you to points along the city’s waterways. Details: Get to Riverwalk Linear Park from any spot in


downtown Fort Lauderdale just by walking to the New River. It’s open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and features water frontage, gazebos, a lighted walkway, picnic areas and rest- rooms. Tis story first appeared on VISITFLORIDA.com.
