Looking for a cheap source of fun? Spend the day exploring Fort Myers' historic River District. Palm trees line the brick streets of this downtown hub, where buildings dating back to the early 20th century are now filled with various shops, galleries, restaurants and a decadent chocolate shop. Check out the city's vibrant arts scene by stopping in the modern daas Gallery, the more funky HOWL Gallery or the much photographed Sydney and Bern Davis Art Center, especially impressive from the street at night. And don't miss the the newly renovated River Basin. It has been expanded and now backs up into the former parking lot of Harborside Event Center.
