Welcoming over 52 million tourists each year, Orlando is Florida’s most popular holiday destination. Gateway to Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and SeaWorld, there is plenty to see and do in Orlando beyond its famous attractions. Nature lovers can explore Arboretum, Harry P. Leu Gardens, Historic Bok Sanctuary and World of Orchids, while golfers can play at round at one of the many local courses. Shoppers can give their credit cards a workout at The Florida Mall and The Mall at Millenia, or pick up a designer bargain at the Orlando Premium Outlets on Vineland Avenue and International Drive. If you’re after something a little more cultural, try the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, Cornell Fine Arts Museum or The Orlando Museum of Art. If all that sightseeing has worked up an appetite, you’re in luck – Orlando offers a huge range of restaurants at every price point. To save money on dining out, though, be sure to choose a self-catering Orlando villa, apartment or other holiday rental.
