For
visitors, Fort Lauderdale contains two main areas of interest. Downtown
focuses on a few blocks between E Broward and E Las Olas boulevards,
which cross US-1 a couple of miles east of I-95. Heavily prettified
with parks and promenades, it's a surprisingly pleasant place for
a stroll, especially if you follow the half-mile pedestrian Riverwalk
along the north shore of the New River. Las Olas Boulevard itself,
the main shopping district , remains busy day and night, with boutiques,
galleries, restaurants, bars and sidewalk cafés in abundance. Hostels in Fort Lauderdale
