Orlando

Orlando is the city of theme parks and tourists. But dig a little deeper and you'll find a city with a rich history, a diverse culture, and plenty of things to do that don't involve standing in line for 3 hours. The heart of Orlando is its downtown, which is full of interesting architecture, museums, and a lively nightlife. Just outside of downtown you'll find world-famous theme parks like Walt Disney World and Universal Studios, as well as the city's other major tourist attractions like the Orlando Science Center and the Kennedy Space Center. But don't worry, there's plenty of non-touristy things to do in Orlando too, like checking out the city's many lakes, going for a hike in the forests that surround the city, or eating at some of the city's amazing restaurants.
