A trip to the United States of America, one of the largest countries in the world, requires immense planning beforehand. Along with Times Square in Manhattan, New York, and the beautiful beaches in Miami, Florida, another city also situated in the state of Florida that every tourist wishes to visit in Orlando.
Orlando can be referred to as the city where our favorite movies and their characters come to life.
Ever dreamt about hopping on Platforms of 9 and 3/4 and boarding the Hogwarts Train? Or are you brave enough to ride ‘The Incredible Hulk Coaster’? If this was not enough to give you an idea of how exciting this city is, then maybe the ‘Jurassic Park River Adventure ride can persuade you to make this place your next vacation destination.
Orlando – formally known as “The City Beautiful” is one of the few must-visit places while traveling through America. The city is best known for its world-famous theme parks such as Magic Kingdom (formerly known as Disney Land) and Universal Studios, which attract around 60 million visitors every year. Besides this, many tourists like to visit the city for shopping purposes and its famous nightlife. Orlando is approximately a 3-hour drive away from the beaches of Miami. Tourists could either use the shuttle or book a private taxi to reach the city.
‘O-Town’ (another nickname for the city) has a warm and dry climate throughout the year, making the use of hats, sunglasses, and sunblock extremely important. Some travelers suggest keeping an umbrella that acts as a protection from the rain and from the direct sun rays that might make one feel dizzy and dehydrated. This highlights the importance of carrying a water bottle at all times or purchasing it (it costs less than a dollar) now and then as per need.
There are many great hotel options in the city. Normally, people prefer to stay at a hotel situated near the amusement parks they wish to visit during their stay. However, some tourists, who do not mind a long drive, might prefer to stay at a different location because of the many great deals and packages provided by hotels that are not situated near the parks.
On average, travelers tend to spend around a week in Orlando before exploring other cities during their trip to the US. Seven days (if fully utilized) are enough to visit all major tourists attractions in the city.
