Located in America's Sunshine State and unquestionably the theme-park capital of the world, Orlando is an enormous playground for, well, everybody. Thrill seekers can get their hearts racing on rollercoasters, those who like the water and the creatures that live in it will also be in their element, while those who want to spend their fortunes on shopping rather than sensational rides will feel right at home too. Orlando can suit every taste. But, as with most cities, look past what it is famous for and you'll discover it has lots more to offer. There's a thriving arts scene, numerous art galleries and museums, and (contrary to what you might think) it can also be a good place to take it easy. With a kicking nightlife to boot, this is one city that more and more backpackers are pencilling into their diaries. Those of you who haven't - what are you waiting for?
