Overview
Experience the wild rides of Universal Studios and Bush Gardens, or immerse yourself in the exhilarating entertainment of Disneyland and Sea World. Orlando is home to some of the world's largest and most famous theme parks and attractions, but that's not all the city has to offer. In Downtown Orlando you can find a wealth of International shops, museums, galleries and world-class restaurants to entertain the adults. With something for everyone this bustling destination won't disappoint.
After the hustle and bustle of Orlando's big attractions, take a well deserved break on the beautiful beaches of Clearwater, near Tampa. Clearwater Bay is one of the most picturesque coastal locations in Florida and is a top hotspot for locals and visitors alike. Minutes walk from a wide variety of restaurants and bars, the pristine white sandy beaches stretch for miles and sit west-facing, providing gorgeous sunsets views almost each and every night.
Top Tip: For the freshest seafood in Clearwater, try Frenchy's Rollaway Grill. The open-air beachfront joint serves locally caught seafood and is great for both adults and young kids.

There are so many things to do in Orlando away from the theme parks, but there’s no escaping the fact that Orlando is unofficially known as “The Theme Park Capital of the World”. Walt Disney World Resort is where it all began in 1971 and covers 47 square miles, including The Magic Kingdom, Epcot Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon. Universal Orlando Resort is another mammoth enterprise, consisting of the two theme parks Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure including “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter”, plus a night-time entertainment complex Universal CityWalk. SeaWorld completes the trio, which includes Discovery Cove where you can swim with dolphins and the water park Aquatica.
