Orlando, FL

Orlando, Florida, is located in Orange County in the northern half of the state just a few miles east of a string of beaches that line the Atlantic coast, including Daytona where swimmers park their cars on the white sand just yards from the shore and Cocoa Beach where for decades people have been able to sit and watch rockets and shuttles launch into space from nearby Cape Canaveral.

Around 230,000 people call Orlando home, but about two million live in the greater metropolitan area. Orange groves once played a larger role in the local economy whereas today a variety of companies thrive in Orlando. The city strives to be family friendly and offers a variety of educational opportunities, including a major university - the University of Central Florida. In addition, and perhaps most famously, the city is a major tourist destination. Visitors are drawn by the balmy weather, fresh breezes blowing in from the Atlantic and a myriad of attractions from huge theme parks to outdoor adventures to dinner theater and nightlife. Young and old alike can find something fun to do in the Orlando area.
