Within walking/biking/golf cart distance. Many phenomenal food scene locations, unique shops and nightlife. The River District runs along the Caloosahatchee River.

One of the best things to do in Fort Myers is to visit its downtown area. Also known as the River District, it sits on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River and is a scenic destination for shopping, night-life, and entertainment! A stroll down the streets of the River District is magical. The Beaux Arts and Neo-Classical architecture creates a magical atmosphere. Royal Palms line the streets, a decoration element designated by Thomas Edison himself! When you visit during First Fridays of the month, you’ll experience Art Walk. In other words, you’ll be celebrating Fort Myers’ bustling art community. “Meet the Artist” at local galleries and watch live art demonstrations on the street. The River District is also home to some of the best festivals in Florida! Check out the Edison Festival of Light, Art Fest, the Fort Myers Film Festival, the Southwest Florida Reading Festival, and many more! If you want to learn about the city’s developments and historical landmarks, check out True Tours. You’ll learn about Fort Myers’ origins as a military base for Florida settlers in their war against the Seminole Tribe. You’ll also find many dining options here! The Veranda Restaurant is a charming historic cottage with a courtyard garden. Then, for something more swanky, hit up the 86 Room, a modern speakeasy with specialty cocktails. You also can’t beat the sunset views on the rooftop terrace of Hotel Indigo.
