A popular tourist hotspot dubbed the ‘Venice of America’ has been revealed after many travelers say it’s one of the ‘most beautiful cities in the world’.<\/p>\n

A typical flight from the US<\/a> to Italy can take anywhere between 8 and 11 hours, but what if you could experience all the magic that Venice has to offer, without the long-haul struggles?<\/p>\n

Between baggage, security, travel<\/a> documents, and simple time, it’s enough to put some off venturing across the seas to Europe.<\/p>\n

But tourists have discovered what has been dubbed the ‘Venice of America’ – offering a unique, year-round water-focused lifestyle<\/a>, combining luxury living, boating, and waterfront dining<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And just like in Venice, you can travel across the waters by gondola! <\/p>\n

Authentic Venetian gondolas glide across the river on a 75-minute tour of the luxurious homes and tropical greenery on display along the canals. <\/p>\n

Whether you’re into fishing, fine-dining, or paddle-boarding, there are endless ways to keep busy on the waterways. <\/p>\n

The location’s official name is Fort Lauderdale, a coastal city on the Atlantic Ocean in Florida<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In fact, it sits roughly 23 to 30 miles north of Miami.<\/p>\n

But while many other cities see seven feet of snow from October through April, Fort Lauderdale is usually sitting at around 80 degrees, according to Melody<\/a>, who spends months at a time living on her boat in the stunning city.<\/p>\n

She added that there is ‘never a shortage’ of delicious restaurants to eat out at, though they are not particularly cheap<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Some of the most popular destinations between the canals include Millionaire\u2019s Row – a number of huge mansions belonging to the rich and famous, Las Olas Boulevard – also at the heart and soul of the city, with its luxurious shopping<\/a> and dining facilities. <\/p>\n

The long stretches of beaches are also highly popular with travelers, as well as the lively nightlife. <\/p>\n

Nearly four million cruise<\/a> passengers annually pass through its Port Everglades, making it the world’s third-busiest cruise port.<\/p>\n

And of course, those wanting to stay in the city won’t be short of options when it comes to accommodation. <\/p>\n

There is a huge selection of five star hotels, as well as smaller, but equally boutique stays. <\/p>\n

But as well as the fun of the water taxis and luxury of the boulevard, Fort Lauderdale is also the gateway to the Everglades National Park.<\/p>\n
