Travel Talk with Ed Finn

Saturday, 11 February 2023 - 13 minutes

Tracy Vaughan from Visit Lauderdale chatted to us on Travel Talk today. Fort Lauderdale and the Lauderdale area is known as the ”Venice of America”. Made up of 31 neighbourhoods, Greater Fort Lauderdale offers a diverse range of experiences for visitors to enjoy, from the area’s thriving arts district, shopping on Las Olas Boulevard, fishing & diving spots galore, to the glitzy marinas lined with super yachts and luxurious five-star hotels. Especially impressive and attractive is the fast track and affordable rail line known as "Bright Line" down the coast of Florida connecting Disney in Orlando to hot spots in Miami and everything in between. This area has miles of sandy beaches, sunshine, great food and shopping plus some amazing culture and nature experiences to offer. For full details check out - www.visitlauderdale.com
