One of the largest cities in the state, Orlando is recognised as the theme park capital of the world and is now established as one of the most visited cities in the country.
Located in the centre of Florida, the city initially flourished from the citrus industry, only starting to emerge as a popular resort after the war. The starting point for Orlando’s transformation came with the development of Walt Disney World in 1971 and the many famous attractions that quickly followed. Along with Disney World, Universal Studios, SeaWorld and Wet 'n Wild are the city's most popular attractions and contribute to Orlando’s relaxed, youthful feel.
Alongside the theme parks the city offers an abundance of large hotels, shopping malls and golf courses together with an array of day tours and excursions that cater for all ages.
