For the ultimate family holiday or just a well-earned break in the sun, look no further than Orlando.

Home to some of the best theme parks in the world, almost constant sunshine, and great beaches, Orlando has so much to offer visitors.

Of course, the theme parks are the big attraction here, and the Orlando area is home not just to Walt Disney World, but also Universal Orlando, SeaWorld and more.

Many hotels offer package deals which will include admission to the parks, and this is often a smart way to go, especially if you want to stay in one of the many great resort hotels.

However, there’s much more to Orlando than just Mickey and Minnie and the fun of the theme parks, with great restaurants, nightlife and shopping all to be explored in the wider area.

There’s also plenty of historic and cultural attractions such as the Orlando Science Centre and the Cornell Fine Arts Museum.

Other attractions include the Orlando Eye Ferris Wheel, Gatorland alligator preserve, and Boggy Creek Airboat Rides.

Many also choose to use Orlando as a base to further explore Florida, whether it be Tampa Bay, the beaches on the east coast, or the Everglades to the south.

In terms of weather, there’s never really a bad time to visit Orlando, as Florida is known as the Sunshine State after all.

May until September is generally hot and rainy, and the best time to visit is between October and April when temperatures are a bit lower and there’s also less chance of rainfall.

Another great reason to visit during this period is that it’ll be a lot quieter than the summer when there’ll be lots of families around.

As one of the most popular tourist destinations in the US, Orlando is served by regular direct flights from Manchester, with the average flight taking just under nine hours.

Virgin Atlantic and Thomas Cook both offer direct flights to Orlando International (MCO), while Thomson fly into Orlando Sanford (SFB), which is slightly further away.
