Whether glorious breaks in the Florida Keys, city breaks in Miami or Gulf Coast holidays; there is much to do in Florida.
But, undeniably the majority of package holidays to Florida are bound for Kissimmee and Orlando; home to Disney World and Universal Studios and hundreds of associated attractions. Spread over 47 square miles Disney World is an amalgamation of four enormous theme parks, two unique water parks, thousands of hotel rooms and many other attractions such as golf courses and shopping. Hotel accommodation at Disney ranges from the budget priced All-Star resorts to the ostentatious luxury of the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and other options include luxury Villas.
Despite the on-site options the majority of tourists on Disney holidays to Florida opt for cheaper accommodation in nearby Kissimmee. There are thousands of bedrooms available at this all-year round popular destination where great deals are frequently on offer. Indeed, most of the cheap holidays to Florida will comprise breaks in the Orlando/Kissimmee area and many will be fly-drives picking up a hire a car at Sanford airport just outside Orlando.

Other favoured Florida destinations outside of Orlando include the magnificent coast around Tampa on the Gulf Coast. Stunning sunsets can be witnessed over the Gulf of Mexico, better still if observed from a beach bar sipping an exotic cocktail! Nearby St. Petersburg offers a massive choice of accommodation including motels, hotels and uniquely American ‘efficiencies’. It is an ideal place to stay and from which to investigate the Gulf Coast.
Cosmopolitan Miami with its combination of impressive art deco architecture and unpredictable Latin ambience is a favoured destination for city breaks. Flights to Miami can also be the starting point for holidays to the Florida Keys and trips to the nearby Everglades National Park.
