Kissimmee is a very popular destination with Florida holiday villa goers, because it offers an affordable way to experience the huge range of activities and attractions in the area. Hosting thousands of visitors a year, who also come to enjoy the area’s warm climate. Very few places in the world can boast such a diverse and colorful collection of attractions and opportunities.
Kissimmee is just about as perfectly in the center of Central Florida as you can get. The perfect headquarters for any central Florida adventure. As a town, not a city, it has a town feel to it which is much more welcoming.
Probably the main draw is the proximity to Disney. Kissimmee is right next to the Walt Disney World Theme Park that draws thousands of tourists to Central Florida every year. However the town is also close to a number of lakes, swamps and rivers, making recreation on the water a great addition to your Florida getaway and it will allow you to enjoy the tranquillity yet be close enough to all the major attractions.
With more than 60,000 residents Kissimmee is one of the largest towns in Florida, and almost every type of restaurant, shop, and attraction can be found here. The best way to get to know the local vibe, removed from the tourism of Walt Disney, is to spend a day in the historic Old Town. This historic downtown district features walking tours, antique shops, shopping, dining, or sightseeing. Highway 192 is the place to see and experience a small town atmosphere in a modern world.
Dining out in the Old Town is also fun for the kids thanks to well maintained play area with a selection of activities for the younger ones. Be sure to bring a comfortable pair of walking shoes to help make visiting all the attractions and shopping areas more comfortable.
If you are travelling with large group of family or friends, renting a holiday villa will ensure that you have the space needed to make everyone in your party happy. Cost per head savings compared to a hotel can also be substantial and of course you have the privacy, space and comfort of your own villa base.
Located only 22 miles from Orlando International Airport access from across the globe is easy. Historic Downtown Kissimmee is often missed in all the rush to visit the attractions, but for those who want a real Florida experience downtown Kissimmee is an essential part of any holiday to Central Florida.
