About Orlando

The Linton E. Allen Memorial Fountain,[ frequently known as just the “Lake Eola fountain” at Lake Eola Park, is the city’s symbol and is nicknamed “the City Beautiful.” Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the United States’ 13th busiest airport and the world’s 29th busiest.

Orlando is one of the most visited cities globally, with over 75 million visitors in 2018. Tourism, significant events, and convention traffic all contribute to the city’s popularity. The Walt Disney World Resort, which opened in 1971, is located about 21 miles (34 km) southwest of downtown Orlando in Bay Lake.  Universal Orlando Resort, which opened in 1990 as a significant expansion of Universal Studios Florida, is the only theme park within Orlando city limits.  The universal properties are the two largest and most internationally renowned tourist attractions in the Orlando area.

Most major cultural sites, such as the Orlando Museum of Art and the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts and world-renowned nightlife, bars, and clubs, are located in Downtown Orlando. In contrast, most attractions, such as the Wheel at ICON Park Orlando, are located along International Drive. In addition, the Orange County Convention Center is the second-largest convention facility in the United States, making it one of the busiest American cities for conferences and conventions.

Like other large Sun Belt cities, Orlando grew fast from the 1970s to the first decade of the twenty-first century. The University of Central Florida is located in Orlando, and as of 2015, it was the largest university campus in the United States in terms of enrolment. The Globalization and World Cities Research Network designated Orlando as a “Gamma Plus” global metropolis in 2010.

The historic core of “Old Orlando” is now located in downtown Orlando, between Orange Avenue and Garland Avenue, along Church Street. The downtown skyline has changed rapidly due to urban growth in the central business area in recent times. As a result, the current historic district is surrounded by the communities surrounding Lake Eola. It extends west across the city to Lake Lorna Dune and north into the College Park Neighborhood, where century-old oaks line brick streets. The “Downtown Business District,” “North Quarter,” “Parramore,” “Callahan,” “South Eola Heights,” “Lake Eola Heights,” “Thornton Park,” and “College Park” are some of Orlando’s oldest neighborhoods, and also feature some of the city’s oldest homes.
