Downtown Fort Myers
Downtown Fort Myers - You'll love the 1900's architecture with contemporary restaurants, cafes, art galleries, theaters, shops and boutiques!
I love the downtown area of Fort Myer's River District ........ it's so charming and there's lots to see and do.
Spanish-style buildings of many colors with wrought iron balconies that adorn cobblestone streets dotted with fountains, sculptures, palm trees, and cafe dining.
It's a lovely walk whether you are strolling around the shops, over by the park, or by the basin on the Caloosahatchee River where you can look at the boats, get a massage on the salon boat, or catch a dinner tour on a refurbished paddlewheel boat. Centennial Park and the Harborside Event Center are a short walk away.
Downtown Fort Myers Events
I love to go to their Art and Music Walks, each happening on the first and third Friday nights of the month, year round.
All types of cultural events are available to attend at the Sidney and Berne Davis Art Center, located in the old Post Office.
Go to comedies, dramas, and musicals, or take a class at the nationally recognized Florida Repertory Theatre.
