Artegon Orlando will be Florida’s largest open-air marketplace presenting an exclusive blend of stores to explore. With both major brands to shop as well as local artisanal shops, offering unique souvenirs.

Known as the best kept secret when it comes to finding a great shopping deal, Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores has many popular stores to delight the bargain shopper. Popular brands include Aeropostale, Eddie Bauer, Nike, and the only Old Navy outlet store in central Florida.

4.  The Florida Mall

Beautifully constructed with both indoor and outdoor shopping spaces, The Florida Mall offers a unique shopping experience for everyone. Walk amongst the swaying palm trees in the Florida sun and enjoy stores like Forever 21, Zara or H&M. If the sun becomes too much, pop inside one of the cool high-end department stores like Nordstrom or Saks Fifth Avenue.

If bargain hunting is more your style, don’t miss Orlando Premium Outlets.

Just a few minutes away in the Orlando suburb of Winter Park, the European-inspired shopping venue of Park Avenue boasts popular stores like Chico’s and Restoration Hardware, as well as unique boutiques to find a special souvenir.

Park Avenue doesn’t just include shopping, however. This district is jam-packed with activities to suit anyone’s taste. You can take a scenic boat tour on the idyllic chain of lakes located in Winter Park, or catch a round of golf at the country club. The dining options at Park Avenue are second to none. Whether you’re in the mood for Thai, burgers, a smoothie or French bistro fare, you won’t leave hungry. Perhaps a snack or a little dessert better suits your style; a number of coffee and sweets shops will kill your craving.
