Welcome to Orlando:
 An International City of Business and Culture

"When Orlando established its first Sister City in 1982, it became an active member of the International Community.  Full of diversity and cultural opportunities, Orlando is truly a well-connected International city.  From China to Germany to Mexico, visitors from around the world come to Orlando.  Current home to the University of Central Florida, Orlando Science Center, Amway Center and Citrus Bowl...future home of Orlando’s Creative Village, Performing Arts Center and Commuter Rail.  Welcome to Orlando, a Global Metropolis."
