Orlando Hotels & Tourism

From outer-space high tech all the way to spaced-out Disney trip.

The Mickey Mouse draw card has turned Orlando into the fourth-ranking US destination for overseas travellers, after Miami, Los Angeles and New York City. The city 'built on the peel of an orange' has also established itself as part of Florida's high-tech corridor.

While everybody knows the big-name theme parks here - they've spawned smaller versions around the world - the real treasures of Orlando's psyche are the sidekicks: Holy Land is peddling God, while Gatorland bills itself as the 'alligator capital of the world'.

The biggest city in central Florida, Orlando is dominated by Lake Eola in its northeastern downtown quadrant. The most famous downtown icon is Church Street Station, a collection of restaurants, bars and shops located between Interstate 4 and the railroad tracks. Orlando is 6km (4mi) from Universal Studios, 16km (10mi) from Sea World, and 32km (20mi) from Walt Disney World, all located southwest of downtown in an area appropriately known as the Tourist Quarter.
