Orlando's older downtown still holds that history: "Old Orlando" along Orange Avenue, the 1889 Church Street depot, the historic neighborhoods around Lake Eola, and the oaks and brick streets that give the City Beautiful its name. It is an inland city of lakes — dozens of them across Orange County — set in the subtropical flatlands of Central Florida, about an hour from either coast.
Today Orlando is known the world over, but its oldest identity is still the quiet one: a lake-dotted City Beautiful with swans on the water and orange country at its back. Our Orlando designs gather that heritage — the gator-and-1845 emblem, Lake Eola, and the citrus Golden Era — into wearable form. Orlando, Florida — The City Beautiful, where swans glide across Lake Eola and the scent of orange blossoms once defined a city.
Why People Visit Orlando
Orlando draws the world for its attractions, but its enduring charm is the City Beautiful underneath — lakes, oaks, swans, and a citrus-country past. Visitors who slow down find gardens, historic downtown streets, and lakefront paths that feel a world away from the crowds.
