Orlando is a city jam-packed with theme parks and activities to keep you entertained all day long. Orlando’s most iconic landmark is undoubtedly the turreted Cinderella Castle that stands in the centre of the original Disney theme park, the Magic Kingdom, at Lake Buena Vista. Universal Studios is a must-see attraction for movie lovers. Visitors are invited to go behind the scenes and become involved in the movie action, while the Islands of Adventure at Universal Studios offer thrilling rides, shows and attractions on five different islands.

A family holiday to Orlando has more to offer than theme parks. The Kennedy Space Centre and Florida Everglades are within easy reach and make an ideal daytrip.
