Orlando is the fifth largest city in the State of Florida and has a population of about 230 000. Originally the center of a major citrus-growing region, Orlando is now best known as the home of amusement attractions, including the Walt Disney World Resort, the Universal Orlando Resort, and SeaWorld. These destinations helped make Orlando the third most visited American city among travelers in 2007. The Orlando Metropolitan Area is also home to a substantial theatre population; several professional and semi-professional houses and many community theaters are present in the area. For shopping, the Florida Mall is the largest mall in Orlando, one of the largest single-story malls in the USA at over 171,800 m2 with over 250 stores, seven department stores, and the Florida Mall Hotel & Conference Center Tower. Orlando is the home city of the Orlando Magic NBA team and is also famous for its athletics, lacrosse, bowls, ice-hockey, baseball and soccer teams. |
