Walkability
One of the greatest pleasures of Las Olas Boulevard—where cool sub-tropical breezeways and courtyards are alive with bars, nightclubs, bridal stores, shops, boutiques, art galleries and restaurants—is taking a leisurely stroll to enjoy its many pleasures.
In the daytime, it’s not uncommon to see business people meeting for coffee or lunch—or after work for happy hour—while tourists, many waiting to embark on cruise ships or staying at hotels in the area including the elegant Riverside Hotel, enjoy dining and shopping along Las Olas Boulevard—where vehicular traffic is kept at a pedestrian-friendly speed.
The growth of Las Olas Boulevard has been deliberate, with a continued commitment by The Las Olas Company to maintain the uniqueness and distinctive character of the area. Maintaining its quiet charm and casual elegance amongst a burgeoning landscape of modern high rises.
