World City Guide

Sightseeing

Sightseeing Overview
Just about everything in Orlando starts with Walt Disney World. Almost a city in its own right, this 47 square mile (121 square km) resort wonderland boasts four theme parks and a host of other attractions. You can easily spend a week or more just inside the amazingly creative World of Mickey Mouse and Co; and, while most of it is firmly family-orientated, there is plenty to amuse and entertain adults. Outside Disney, the International Drive area is the other main draw, with both SeaWorld Adventure Park and the Universal Orlando resort (which consists of two theme parks and a dining/shopping/entertainment district) located here, along with a raft of smaller-scale attractions like Wet ‘n Wild water park, Skull Kingdom haunted house, Ripley’s Believe It Or Not museum and a host of good restaurants and shops. Just to the south is Kissimmee, which adds more attractions and some more natural diversions, like airboat rides, horse-riding, golf, fishing and hiking.
