Orlando, the seat of Orange County in Florida, is an urban oasis that boasts the nickname "the city beautiful."
The downtown area is centered around Lake Eola, a swan-filled lake featuring a lighted fountain that has become an icon for the city. Brick-lined roads flanked by rows of live oaks border the area. Orange Avenue, Orlando's main road, is one-way for the most part, running south through the city.

The numerous high rises are quite prominent during the day, but at night Orange Avenue comes to life with bars, clubs, restaurants, theaters, and concert venues.
The main strip is closed to automobile traffic most nights due to the sheer number of pedestrians.
