orlando

Tourist areas and theme parks are extremely safe. However, like any large US city, it has areas with higher crime rates.

Null. Orlando is the epitome of car-dependent urban sprawl. It is impossible to move between the different park complexes or downtown without a vehicle.

Very poor for a city of its size and tourist vocation. It is a city designed for the car.

An expensive destination: lodging and nightlife add up; use public transport and set menus.

A massive nightlife offer for all tastes, concentrated in the leisure complexes and in the city center.

Culture is entertainment. However, the city has a growing arts and cultural scene beyond the parks.

A surprisingly diverse culinary scene. From character dining to celebrity chef restaurants and an authentic local food scene.

A shopping paradise. It is home to some of the largest and busiest shopping centers and outlet malls in the country.

A double-edged sword. The winters are perfect, but the summers are brutally hot, humid and rainy.

Possibly the most tourist-friendly city in the world. Everything, absolutely everything, is designed with the visitor in mind.

It is, possibly, the best family destination in the world. The entire city is designed around fun for all ages.

Orlando is one of the most LGTBQ+ friendly cities in the country, with a great community and world-famous events.

Orlando's economy depends on service and hospitality. The people are used to tourists and are professional and friendly.

Central Florida's natural beauty lies in its lakes, crystal-clear springs, and subtropical wetlands.

Architecture is a thematic spectacle. From Cinderella Castle to Hogwarts, architecture is designed for immersion and fantasy.

The story of Orlando is the story of how a vision (Walt Disney's) can transform a landscape and create a global phenomenon in the 20th century.

The 'City Beautiful' lives up to its nickname with numerous lakes and well-maintained parks that offer a respite from the theme parks.

Theme parks are famous for their almost obsessive cleanliness. The rest of the city is generally clean.

A rapidly growing startup ecosystem, especially in simulation technology (due to its proximity to NASA and the military), video games and hospitality technology.

Good infrastructure, but the high cost of living and car dependence make it less attractive than other cities in Florida.
