|
| The city of Orlando is a major
city in central Florida, and is the
county seat of Orange County,
Florida. Commonly called “The City
Beautiful,” Orlando is home to the
University of Central Florida, Walt
Disney World, the Orlando Magic and
many other attractions. The city is
well known for the many tourist
attractions in the area, in
particular the Walt Disney World
Resort, SeaWorld and Universal
Orlando Resort. Natural attractions
include the St. John’s River and
nearby New Smyrna, Daytona and Cocoa
Beaches. The region sees an
estimated 52 million tourists a
year. Orlando has the second largest
number of hotel rooms in the country
after Las Vegas, Nevada, and is one
of the busiest American cities for
conferences and conventions with the
Orange County Convention Center, the
country's second largest in square
footage. It is also known for its
wide array of beautiful golf
courses, with numerous courses
available for any level of golfer.
Despite being several miles away
from the main tourist attractions,
Downtown Orlando is undergoing major
redevelopment with a number of
residential and commercial towers.
Orlando has a warm and humid
subtropical climate, and there are
two major seasons each year. One of
those seasons is hot and rainy,
lasting from May until October
(roughly coinciding with the
Atlantic hurricane season). The
other is a cooler season (November
through March) that brings more
moderate temperatures and less
frequent rainfall. |
