Lake Eola Park
On your right is Lake Eola Park, the sparkling centerpiece of downtown Orlando. This 23-acre lake has been a gathering place since the late 1800s, and today it’s one of the city’s most photographed spots. The star of the show is the Linton E. Allen Memorial Fountain, which lights up the night with dazzling, choreographed displays.

But Lake Eola isn’t just about the view. This park is home to the famous swan boats that you can actually rent and pedal around the lake—an Orlando tradition for both locals and visitors. Speaking of swans, real ones live here too. In fact, Lake Eola has five different species of swans, and the city takes great pride in caring for them.

As you circle the lake, you’ll notice the Walt Disney Amphitheater, a striking shell-shaped stage that hosts concerts, plays, and festivals throughout the year. From farmers’ markets on Sunday mornings to yoga classes and art fairs, Lake Eola is where Orlando comes together.

It’s easy to see why they call Orlando the “City Beautiful”—this lake and its park really set the tone.

POI 2 Tour Image
History Center
On your right is the Orange County Regional History Center, set in what was once Orlando’s courthouse. Today it’s a museum that tells the story of Central Florida—covering everything from Native American history and citrus groves to space exploration and the arrival of Walt Disney World.

Even if you don’t go inside right now, it’s worth noting this building as the keeper of Orlando’s past. It’s a reminder that long before theme parks and skyscrapers, this city had a rich history that shaped the “City Beautiful” you’re driving through today.
