Florida is home to a diverse ecosystem—you could be sunbathing at the beach one minute and diving underground in freshwater caves the other minute.

Unlike big city museums, many of Orlando’s are actually historic dwellings on their own, nestled on picturesque grounds.

You can get to the Atlantic ocean in an hour and get to surf the waves Kelly Slater cut his teeth on soon after.

From orange-scented craft breweries to rooftop bars, open-air dance clubs, live music haunts and a lively soccer scene.

Why not learn how to draw? Or escape to one of the city’s best museums? Even watching a gator chomp his lunch sounds magnificent, doesn’t it?

Unlike Miami, you won’t find a plethora of pretentious lounges around here. Even the swankiest clubs in Orlando boast a laid-back, welcoming vibe.
