18 Nov 2010
While it may be famous for theme parks and family attractions, Orlando also offers plenty of opportunities and experiences for winter shoppers, according to the city's tourist board.
The destination was ranked the fourth most popular location in the US in the 2009 International Shopping Traveler Study, according to the Orlando Tourism Bureau, and foreign visitors cite shopping as their number one holiday activity.
With 12 shopping malls and factory outlet centres within a 15-mile radius, the city provides the opportunity for holidaymakers to buy items from major brands such as Chanel and Jimmy Choo or head to famous department stores like Bloomingdale's, Macy's and Saks Fifth Avenue.
Specific locations recommended by the Orlando Tourism Bureau include the Mall at Millenia at Conroy Road, the Florida Mall and Festival Bay Mall at International Drive.
Those looking for smaller boutiques can head to Park Avenue and Hannibal Square in downtown Winter Park, which is often described as 'the Rodeo Drive of the east', or explore Thornton Park near downtown Orlando.
