Five things not to miss in Orlando, Florida

Who doesn’t love Orlando? The City Beautiful is known world-wide as one of the biggest tourist destinations for people of all ages.

But although some of our best-known attractions in Orlando should definitely be on your itinerary, there are tons of hidden gems that should be on your list as you plan your adventures in Florida, too. From the arts to nature views, there is always something to do and see in the City Beautiful. The list can be overwhelming for locals and first-timers alike!

To help, we’ve put together our list of the top five things not to miss in Orlando.

Immerse yourself in the magic of the theme parks

They may be well-known, but no trip to Orlando is complete without the theme parks. Whether you want to soak in the magic at Walt Disney World Resort, have an adventure at Universal Orlando, or embrace marine life at SeaWorld, there’s something for everyone.

Ride a swan

Did you know Orlando has its own version of Central Park? Lake Eola serves as a gathering place for all kinds of community events, as well as the perfect place to view the Downtown Orlando skyline. It also serves as a home for the unofficial symbol of the city—the swan. You can even glide across the lake like a swan via the iconic swan paddleboats. It’s a great way to experience the real Orlando.

Satisfy your cravings

If you’re a foodie, you might not realize just how much Orlando has to offer. Stroll along Park Avenue in Winter Park or Edgewater Drive in College Park and enjoy your pick of cute local eats. Check the local happenings for a food festival, or catch up with one of our favorite food trucks. You can even take a food tour. Love dessert? Gideon’s Bakehouse is world-renowned for their half-pound, eye-popping cookie creations. Dig in!

Experience the arts

From fine art to Broadway, Orlando has plenty to enjoy. Check out an exhibit at the Orlando Museum of Art or the Mennello Museum of American Art. Catch a performance by a group like the Orlando Ballet, or see what’s playing at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, which hosts everything from local performances to Broadway tours.
