Flights to Orlando

With its theme parks and nearby beaches, sunny Orlando is one of the top destinations in the world for a holiday at any time of year. At the heart of Central Florida (known as `the Sunshine State`), the family-friendly destination is an enduringly popular destination for a sun-kissed break among holiday makers of all ages and interests.

For families, the jewel in Orlando`s crown has to be Walt Disney World Resort, often known simply as Disney World or Disney World Florida, which lies around 30 kilometres from the city by road. The mammoth SeaWorld centre and Universal Studios Florida are also firm favourites with families looking for fun in the sun.

Orlando is also renowned for its golf courses, and keen golfers flock here year in, year out to play a few rounds against a back drop of green fields and blue skies. Some 52 million tourists flock to Orlando each year, and there`s no shortage of places to stay with the second largest number of hotel rooms in the United States, after Las Vegas. Orlando is also a key destination for business travellers visiting the United States, with the Orange County Convention Center being among the largest conference and convention facilities in the country. With a climate that is warm and sunny throughout the year, Orlando is a sun-seeker`s paradise, and beautiful sandy beaches lie less than two hours` drive from the city. Here, holiday makers can swim, fish, surf, scuba dive, snorkel, or just relax on the beach and soak up some rays.
