Many Faces of Orlando, part one
From fine culture to hilarious fun, Orlando has it all. Orlando has so much more to offer than just theme parks. Everything you could ask from a perfect holiday, from luxurious spas and great golf courses to vibrant nightlife and unique cultural opportunities. The only dilemma: how to replicate oneself and try it all?
Family Orlando
Take your family on a roller coaster ride, get splashed by a charming killer whale at SeaWorld Orlando and experience the classic “It’s a Small World” boat cruise at Disney’s Magic Kingdom. At SeaWorld Orlando, and other theme parks in Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort, you are invited to experience days crammed with thrilling rides, child-friendly attractions, spectacular shows, up-close animal encounters and unique restaurants and shops.
The Orlando area has also many smaller but equally thrilling attractions. You can swim with dolphins at Discovery Cove or take a behind-the-scenes tour to try out a simulator at The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, that is only 45 minutes away.
Accommodation choice is virtually endless. You can choose between luxurious resorts like oak plantation that combine championship golf courses offered at some top class orlando vacation resorts, spas and posh restaurants and rustic campsites, as well as everything in between. Themed hotels cater to all sorts of interests. Rented holiday accommodation, offers you spacious private homes comprising pool, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, and providing access to the resort’s golf course, complete-service spa and very own water park.
Adults Orlando
The Orlando also offers a lot of adventure for adults. Be it skydiving, driving a real stock car or riding on a real airboat, hot air balloon or even helicopter. You can also choose just to relax and enjoy the shops, restaurants and nightlife. There is also diverse natural and cultural attractions throughout the area for you to enjoy, if choose so.
Step outside the theme park gates and you’ll find more than 2,000 named lakes, rivers and springs that are ideal for bass fishing, boating, waterskiing and wakeboarding, as well as for gardens, parks and sanctuaries. Ideal resort for watersports.
And, don’t you dare miss out on a romantic dinner for two at one of Orlando’s award-winning restaurant such as Victoria & Albert, which earned a coveted five-diamond rating from AAA, or visit Norman’s at The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes. If you are after a superb culinary experience in town, make sure you visit Manuel’s or The Boheme (on the 28th).
Orlando’s nightlife scene is one of Florida’s most dynamic, with a variety of bars and nightclubs. You can also indulge in the themed clubs in Disney’s and Universal’s entertainment districts: Pleasure Island , CityWalk, etc.
