It’s also chock-full of intense water sports, beautiful natural springs, outdoor adventures, eco-safaris, dramatic arts, Broadway-style shows, big-name concerts, major-league spring training, Orlando Magic basketball games, and world-class greens for championship golf—some 196 pro-designed golf courses and celebrity tournaments—plus, an explosive international culinary scene and chic shopping at numerous malls and boutiques to satisfy those cravings for retail therapy.
Sizzling Nightlife
Along with the legendary attraction- and tourist-filled International Drive, downtown Orlando lights up at night with everything from casual to upscale and trendy places to sit sip and socialize when the sun sets, downtown Orlando is the place to do it, with jazzed-up blues bars, trendy upscale big-city hot spots, eclectic rooftop bars and café-style wine bars to cycle-pedaling tours, horse-drawn carriage and pedi-bike rides and swan paddle boat rentals across downtown’s landmark Lake Eola. Downtown streets are punctuated with a variety of bars and nightclubs that make it one of the hottest nightspots for locals and visiting tourists alike, with an environment that fits every mentality and mood for a fun night out on the town.
