Shopping

Those with a taste for the finer things will find ample opportunity for shopping in Orlando. The area boasts nearly every upscale department store in the U.S., as well as several luxury international brands and specialty stores.

Orlando’s newest and most luxurious mall, The Mall at Millenia, transforms shopping into a multi-sensory experience through its dramatic architecture and distinctive design. Fashion is taken to the highest level in a dramatic, eight-story Grand Court featuring 12, 35-foot high masts, topped with high-resolution LED screens. Exclusive footage just off the runways of New York, London, Paris and Milan are featured on the screens through a partnership with the Videofashion Network. Ambiance aside, the mall delivers the goods – and exquisite goods at that. It offers a dazzling selection of over 150 stores and restaurants anchored by Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales and Macy’s. International stores such as Burberry, Cartier, Chanel, Gucci, Salvatore Ferragamo, and Zara, are combined with the most in-demand U.S. retailers, such as Apple, Tommy Bahama’s, Betsey

Serious art collectors don't have to go far to find a unique treasure. Adjacent to The Mall at Millenia is Millenia Fine Art, showcasing the Southeast's largest and most diverse gallery collection of museum quality modern and contemporary art, with 15,000 square feet of exhibition space.

At Orlando’s largest mall, The Florida Mall, upscale department stores Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Dillard’s, Macy’s anchor more than 250 stores selling every heart’s desire – apparel and shoes for the whole family, cards and books, specialty foods, makeup and perfume, sporting goods, toys and games, cameras and electronics, jewelry, home furnishings and more.
