FLORIDA HOLIDAYS
Find Your Sunshine State of Mind Flight Time
Time Difference
Weather
Fly direct from UK airports to Florida in 9-9.5 hours. Travel in style with seat-back TVs, in-flight entertainment, complimentary meals, and baggage included.
Most of Florida is in the Eastern Time Zone, typically 5 hours behind the UK. However, the western Florida Panhandle is in the Central Time Zone, usually -6h.
Florida’s subtropical climate features hot, humid summers, mild winters, occasional thunderstorms, and abundant sunshine almost all year round.
Think family. Think Florida. Dad embarrassing you at an I-Drive karaoke bar. Getting pushed into the pool at your holiday home. Frightening Halloween Horror Nights. Even the ‘bad’ moments become cherished memories on a Florida holiday. And the best experiences redefine your expectations for long-haul travel. Whether you’re diving into the underwater world of the Florida Reef or witnessing rocket launches on the Space Coast, you will find your Sunshine State of mind. It’s a childlike wonder that unites all ages. After all, everyone is a big kid when a bright smile hits their face. Whether you’re a Disney dreamer, beachgoer, nature lover, or foodie fanatic, welcome to where you belong.
FAIRYTALE THEME PARKS Awaken your senses in Orlando, the Theme Park Capital of the World. At Walt Disney World alone, there are 4 theme parks, 2 water parks, and 25+ resort hotels to choose from. The possibilities are endless, but it’s always a fairytale. Our favourite new ride is Stardust Racers, a duelling rollercoaster at Universal Epic Universe.
BEST BEACHES IN THE USA Where is your happy place? Sometimes the answer is as simple as where the sun meets the sea. Across 800+ miles of stunning Florida beaches, you can always find your patch of paradise. We love St. Pete Beach, where there is an average of 361 days of sunshine per year, making every sunset a masterpiece.
FLORIDA NATURE Get back to nature where the grass really is greener. In Crystal River, you can wander through unspoiled forests. In the Keys, you can snorkel next to five types of turtles, never mind the manatees. And for true eco-tourism, you could be lounging at the beach one day, and cleaning up coral reefs the next.
HIDDEN GEMS Take the road less travelled to discover low crowds and laid-back living. In Cocoa Beach, you can find the East Coast’s Surfing Capital just 60 miles from Orlando. In Jacksonville, you’ll uncover under-the-radar art festivals and music scenes. And on Anna Maria Island, old-world charm awaits without a high-rise building in sight.
TOP TIP FOR FLORIDA HOLIDAYS If you’re travelling with a multi-generational family, booking a multi-centre holiday can ensure there is something for everyone to love. For example, you could pair an Orlando villa stay with a Cruise departing from Fort Lauderdale or a beachfront hotel in Miami.
PANAMA CITY BEACH PANAMA CITY BEACH Set along the Emerald Coast, this sunny escape boasts 27 miles of sugar-white sands, scenic state parks, and familyfriendly water parks.

TAMPA For when you want to be close to world-class beaches, thrilling theme parks, and iconic eats like the Cuban sandwich.
ANNA MARIA ISLAND Unwind at this barrier island offering old Florida charm, crystal-clear shores, and a laid-back, no-rush way of life.
FLORIDA FOR THE FIRST TIME TIP “Florida has something for everyone, though when you’re looking to travel can make a real difference. In my opinion, Miami is best from November to April, offering warm but dry weather perfect for beaches and nightlife. The Florida Keys shine bright from December to May, offering sunny yet mild conditions ideal for snorkelling and diving. And Florida theme park fanatics can expect shorter lines, fewer crowds, and just the right amount of sun from late August and throughout September. That said, there’s never a bad time for a Florida holiday!" Matt Rains, Managing Director of Ocean Florida Trade

The 18-hole Cypress Course is known for its scenic parkland layout, with lush fairways and lakeside views throughout. For something more challenging, the 18-hole Links Course takes inspiration from the famous Old Course in St Andrews, Scotland, featuring rolling slopes, deep bunkers, and a more traditional links-style feel.

HOW TO USE MY DISNEY EXPERIENCE APP This essential app makes planning easy and keeps everything in one place for your Walt Disney World holiday.
Getting Started
MAGIC KINGDOM PARK Dreamlike, alluring, and always nostalgic, Magic Kingdom is where where Disney fantasies and characters come to life. With iconic rides like Peter Pan’s Flight and it’s a small world, plus appearances from Cinderella, Mickey Mouse, and friends, you’ll be whisked away to a world of imagination. At its heart stands the spellbinding Cinderella Castle - a symbol of where Disney dreams begin. Along the way, don’t miss TRON Lightcycle / Run Presented by Enterprise, where you’ll race through the digital world at speeds up to 60 mph, or Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, a musical journey with Princess Tiana, Naveen, and jazz-loving alligator Louis. By sunset, grab a spot on the parade route for Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away. This nighttime spectacular is brought to life by the magic of the Blue Fairy and takes viewers on a starlit journey through beloved tales like Moana, Peter Pan, Frozen, Cinderella and more as magical moments throughout the parade electrify Main Street, U.S.A. with the power of starlight. We are also highly anticipating the opening of Piston Peak, a new land that will transport guests to the world of Pixar’s Cars, and the arrival of Villains Land, where Disney's most iconic evildoers will reign in the coming years.

DISNEY’S HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS
Where else can you visit 11 countries in the morning and the future in the afternoon? EPCOT is “Where the Impossible Becomes Possible.” It is a celebration of human innovation, culture, and imagination, now reimagined into four distinct neighbourhoods: World Celebration, World Discovery, World Nature, and World Showcase.
Home to beloved blockbusters, silver screen classics, and musical numbers, step into Disney’s Hollywood Studios for your next showstopping memory. Immerse yourself in the world of theatre, from the interactive Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After to the Broadway-style Beauty and the Beast musical. Dive into one-of-akind bars and restaurants like the retro 50’s Prime Time Café and lose yourself in larger-than-life lands like Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
Thrill seekers will be drawn to World Discovery, home to cuttingedge attractions like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and the new high-speed Test Track 3.0, which reaches up to 65mph. Then, to have the world at your feet, visit World Showcase and hop between Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Morocco, Norway, the United Kingdom, and the USA. Each pavilion offers culturally significant architecture, landscapes, and cuisine.
We’re also super excited about the upcoming Monsters, Inc. land, Monstropolis, which will expand the story of the dynamic duo, Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan. But for exhilaration, look no further than Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, now starring The Muppets, which goes from 0 to 57 mph in 2.8 seconds. Just like any good movie collection, there’s something for everyone here.

When the sun sets, feast your eyes on Luminous The Symphony of Us, a nighttime spectacular that lights up the sky over World Showcase Lagoon. Featuring dazzling fireworks, fountains, lights, and music, this show explores the commonalities of the heart - the symphony of us.
We love the ride Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, where you can join an epic battle against the First Order, including a face-off with Kylo Ren! Plus, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run features an allnew covert mission where The Mandalorian and Grogu will join the adventure.

DISNEY’S ANIMAL KINGDOM THEME PARK
DISNEY PARKS
Explore the magic of nature at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, where you’ll discover rare animals, authentic adventures and energetic entertainment transporting you to the heart of nature alive with magic. This is the largest of the four Disney theme parks, and monuments don’t get much bigger than the Tree of Life. At night, it becomes a beacon of magic with state-of-the-art projection mapping at the Tree of Life Awakenings. By day, brave daring rides like the hair-raising Avatar Flight of Passage, where you can take flight on the back of a mountain banshee, and buckle up for razzle-dazzle theatre shows like Zootopia: Better Zoogether!. We’re also highly anticipating Tropical Americas Land, an entirely new area themed around Latin American landscapes.
Or take on Tike’s Peak - inspired by the beloved Frozen saga - which welcomes water sprites and tiny tots with its shallow pools and interactive wonders for a true Disney daydream.
DISNEY’S TYPHOON LAGOON WATER PARK This is the definition of a family-friendly waterpark. Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon revolves around a fictional tropical oasis where even waterlogged landscapes and shipwrecks are playgrounds to explore.
Better yet, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park is a wild ride for your taste buds, including an array of culinary delights, with flavours inspired by Africa, Asia, and Polynesian cuisine.
Get ready to plunge, dive, and swim your way through an aquatic adventure. Whizz down waterslides on family-sized rafts on Miss Adventure Falls, embarking on a journey through the remains of Captain Mary Oceaneer’s shipwreck.
DISNEY’S BLIZZARD BEACH WATER PARK
Then, for an extra dash of adrenaline, Crush ‘n’ Gusher delivers a labyrinth of interconnected water slides, twisting tunnels, and steep drops. And don’t miss the Typhoon Lagoon Surf Pool, one of the largest wave pools in North America, where surging water creates six-foot swells. To cool off, head to Happy Landings Ice Cream for root beer floats, sundaes, and other treats from this hut tucked beside Castaway Creek.
One of two Disney water parks, Disney’s Blizzard Beach is themed around a melted ski resort under Orlando’s scorching temperatures. Think of steep icy slopes and blazing-fast action with a twist. There’s even a chairlift to complete the ski resort aesthetic. No ride exemplifies the daredevil pursuits of Blizzard Beach more than the near-vertical Summit Plummet. Here, you can free-fall feet-first down Mount Gushmore’s 12-storey steep peak. The drop
42
is so steep that the path remains entirely hidden until the very last moment. But fear not. Blizzard Beach is also suitable for young adventurers and those seeking a more serene aqua-tale. Simply grab an inflatable tube and leisurely float down the meandering currents of the Cross Country Creek.
Tickets include access to Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, when both Water Parks are open; at other times, admission may be to one Water Park.

GUIDE TO NEW MULTI-DAY ADMISSION
At Universal Epic Universe
This changes everything. When Universal Epic Universe first opened its gates in May 2025, only one-day admission was available. However, the new Universal All-Park Ticket* lets you spend as much time as you like exploring Epic Universe and all other Universal parks over 14 days (terms and conditions apply).
UNIVERSAL EPIC UNIVERSE
For us, spending two days at Epic Universe is the sweet spot. It gives you enough time to uncover the big attractions without turning the day into a sprint. To help you navigate the park’s 5 worlds at your own pace, we’ve pulled together our best tips below.
1. RIDE STARDUST RACERS FIRST This is the premier thrill ride at Universal Epic Universe, and in our opinion, it might just be Universal’s greatest rollercoaster. With this in mind, we recommend getting ahead of the crowds and ticking it off your wish list early doors. What’s more, while most Universal hotel guests with Early Park Admission* (valid theme park admission required. Select attractions) head to franchise favourites, this flagship dual-launch coaster often enjoys one of the shortest waits of any headliner.
2. PLAN YOUR ROUTE BY PORTAL At 110 acres, Universal Epic Universe is the largest Universal park, so having a game plan can make all the difference. Rather than zigzagging across the park all day, we recommend fully exploring one land before moving on to the next. This approach reduces any back-and-forth across the park, spares your legs unnecessary miles, and lets you enjoy each area more fully. Spread it out over two days, and you will feel like you have truly seen it all.
3. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SINGLE RIDER LINES If you don't mind riding separately from your group, Single Rider queues can reduce your waiting time on select attractions.
62
Attractions like Mine-Cart MadnessTM, Curse of the Werewolf, and
HARRY POTTER and all related characters and elements © & ™ Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. Publishing Rights © J.K. Rowling. DreamWorks Dragons © 2026 DreamWorks Animation LLC. © Nintendo. Nintendo trademarks are properties of Nintendo. Universal elements and all related indicia TM & © 2026 Universal Studios. All rights reserved.
Hiccup’s Wing Gliders offer this option, giving you a chance to hop on when seats need to be filled. Just keep in mind that Single Rider lines can be unpredictable, but when it works, it can save you valuable time for more exploring.
4. PRIORITISE INDOOR ATTRACTIONS DURING PEAK HEAT If you’re visiting during peak summer, plan a tactical indoor pitstop for a cool reset. The Untrainable Dragon and Le Cirque ArcanusTM offer an air-conditioned breather. And if you are ready for action, indoor rides like Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment and Mario Kart™: Bowser’s Challenge not only beat the heat but are standout attractions.
5. EAT OUTSIDE OF PEAK MEAL TIMES The rides may be the main event, but Epic Universe’s dining scene is worth making time for too. From the vampire dining hall of Das SUPER NINTENDO WORLDTM and the The Blue Dragon Pan-Asian Restaurant in Celestial Park, every venue is on theme and delves deeper into storytelling. Just keep in mind that restaurants tend to get busiest between noon and 2pm for lunch and again around 6pm for dinner. Eating a little earlier or later can help you dodge the longest lines and enjoy everything Epic Universe has to offer.
6. CHASE NEON NIGHTTIME DREAMS One of the benefits of Epic Universe is that it’s designed to wow by night. Stardust Racers offer a whole new experience as the comets glow, and you get to see views of Epic Universe lit up. Constellation Carousel radiates against illuminated fountains, while lands like Dark Universe offer eerie ambience. Better yet, The Burning Blade Tavern’s flaming windmill is more prominent at night, and SUPER
UNIVERSAL EPIC UNIVERSE
Stakehaus in Dark Universe to the interactive Toadstool CafeTM in
NINTENDO WORLDTM comes alive with vibrant colours.
7. STAY FROM DAY TO NIGHT Take advantage of staying at a Universal Orlando Hotel with Early Park Admission* (valid theme park admission required. Select attractions) to make the most of your stay. But don't miss out what the park has to offer in the evening such as the incredible Universal Celestial Goodnight.
8. BE STRATEGIC WITH YOUR ACCOMMODATION
FOR THE LATEST PRICES AND AVAILABILITY | CALL 020 8131 4799 OR CONTACT YOUR TRAVEL AGENT
63
If perks like Early Park Admission* (valid theme park admission required. Select attractions) and being within walking distance of Epic Universe are a priority, we recommend Universal Helios Grand Hotel, a Loews Hotel. If it doesn’t fit your budget for a 2 week holiday, consider staying just for one or two nights. Alternatively, Universal Stella Nova Resort or Universal Terra Luna Resort are just a short shuttle ride away. For off-site options, Rosen Shingle Creek is just 2.5 miles from Universal, and Villatel Orlando Resort is just 2 miles from Epic Universe with luxury villas that sleep up to 18.

Open since February 2026 and billed as the “ultimate indoor family coaster,” it is the first of its kind at the park, and a space adventure that starts long before the ride launches. The experience begins inside the mission briefing room, where riders receive their assignment and prepare for takeoff. Once the countdown begins, it’s time to launch into space at speeds of up to 40 miles per hour, racing through an action-packed galaxy adventure built for the whole family. It’s easy to see why it’s already becoming one of LEGOLAND Florida’s most popular rides.
The adventure continues at SEA LIFE Florida Aquarium. Open since June 2025, it promises ocean-sized excitement. Offering a 150,000-gallon “Theme Park Under the Sea” experience, the aquarium is home to more than 150 species and 3,000 marine creatures. Come face-to-fin with stingrays gliding through the water, explore hands-on rock pools filled with fascinating invertebrates, and discover fun ocean facts with 25 interactive exhibits and encounters. A highlight is the 180-degree Ocean Tunnel, where marine life swims right overhead. It’s like walking through the middle of the ocean without getting wet!

LEGOLAND
LEGO GALAXY Opened on the same date as Galacticoaster, LEGO Galaxy invites young space dreamers into a playful universe inspired by the wonders of the cosmos. While Galacticoaster remains the main attraction, LEGO Galaxy offers even more chances to be amongst the stars. Little explorers can burn off energy in the soft-play Junior Astronaut Training Zone, while the whole family can pick up space-themed souvenirs at the Orbital Outpost. When it’s time for a break, Galactic Grub & Gear brings you back down to Earth to refuel everyone with tasty space-themed food and drinks.
WHAT'S STILL SUPER ACCESSIBLE
Certified Autism Center LEGOLAND Florida offers staff trained in autism awareness, Quiet Rooms across the park, and a daily Sensory Sensitivity Hour. Before you even arrive, a Sensory Guide is available to download to ensure a neurodivergent-friendly visit.
Blue HERO Pass LEGOLAND Florida Resort offers the Blue HERO Pass to support guests who benefit from reduced wait times. Available from Guest Services, the pass allows one guest and their companion to board via the exit at a scheduled time.

2026 brought a fresh new look to the LEGOLAND Florida Hotel with 20 upgraded themed rooms. You’ll find 6 DUPLO Rooms designed for the youngest guests, filled with larger bricks for smaller hands and big imaginations. There are also 6 LEGO Friends Rooms, refreshed with today’s beloved characters from Heartlake City (including some of their favourite pets) and bright, playful designs. Rounding out the upgrades are 8 LEGO NINJAGO Rooms, which bring high-energy action to life with ninja-inspired details that transport you to the world of Lloyd and his fearless crew.
ADA-Accessible Rides & Hotels The majority of LEGOLAND rides are ADAaccessible with companion-assisted transfers. A downloadable Accessibility Guide is available, and on-site hotels offer accessible rooms and hearingaccessible options.

THE FLORIDA KEYS Island life awaits. Uncover Florida’s beautiful south and a land of coral reefs, delectable dining, and laidback Caribbean vibes from top to tip. More than 1,700 captivating islands make up the breathtaking Florida Keys. They are peppered along a 126-mile archipelago stretching out towards Cuba, presenting a vastly different side to the Sunshine State than the famous theme park reputation that precedes it. We love making Key Largo our jump-off point for island-hopping. From here, you can head onto the culture hub of Key West and everywhere in between using trusted mile markers en route.
THE PALM BEACHES West Palm Beach is the largest city in Palm Beach County, but we love the Boca Raton Area for its unparalleled blend of coastal charm and elegant villas. Here, you can wake up to the gentle sound of crashing waves, knowing that a few minutes’ stroll will lead you to pristine, sandy beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see.

The tropical wilderness of The Everglades is right on your doorstep, but no trip to Naples would be complete without a short drive south to Marco Island. Part of Florida’s Ten Thousand Islands, it is a white sand paradise. You can simply kick back and enjoy the view or take advantage of the superb shelling that Tigertail Beach has to offer.

Better yet, picture walking beside Art Deco architecture as the biggest cruise ships in the world pass by with endless restaurants and bars within reach. With influences from Latin America and the Caribbean, Miami is a truly diverse city that has something for everyone. Dive into the vibrant energy of South Beach or wander the lively streets of Little Havana for an authentic taste of Cuban culture and experience a cocktail of cultural richness against the backdrop of sunlit shores and endless horizons.

True to its name, Siesta Key is an 8-mile-long island where you can leave the worries of the world behind. Perched just west of Sarasota, it’s a gateway to the glimmering waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Siesta Beach is famed for its 99% quartz sand that stays cool under the sweltering sun, providing the perfect setting for several events held on the beach throughout the year. We love the Siesta Key Crystal Classic Sand Sculpting Competition, where you can witness awe-inspiring sand sculptures of all kinds around November time. Alternatively, you can sculpt your body at the outdoor gymnasium, then reward yourself with fresh seafood, guilt-free!

NEW YORK – DAY 9-10: VISIT THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING & FIFTH AVENUE Now that you’re settled into the Big Apple, it’s time to go big on attractions. And no New York attraction makes more of a statement than the masterpiece of Manhattan’s skyline, the Empire State Building. The best views from this iconic landmark come from the Observation Decks. Our favourite is the Top Deck for the highest and most unobstructed views. For going all-in on New York’s iconic shopping, look no further than Fifth Avenue. Comparable to London’s Oxford Street, this is where you find luxurious, high-end shops and one of the most elegant streets in the world.
NEW YORK – DAY 11: LUXURIATE AT THE BELVEDERE BEFORE YOU LEAVE On your final day in the USA, take a moment to revel in the lavishness of the Belvedere Hotel. Wind down from your escapades at the on-site Churrascaria Plataforma steakhouse.

But when it comes to the fairytale of New York City, seeing is believing, and we can place you WIDER USA STAYS
at hotels that live up to the hype, for all interests, and every budget…
THE NEW YORKER BY LOTTE HOTELS One of the most affordable hotels in NYC with a view, The New Yorker, by LOTTE Hotels, is a beacon of 1920s Art Deco architecture and a firm favourite due to its central Midtown location. Set in the heart of Manhattan, the hotel is next to glittering Times Square and steps away from Broadway, Penn Station, and the Moynihan Train Hall. In fact, its famous glowing red sign means you can’t miss it! Many rooms enjoy wonderful views of the Hudson River or the Empire State Building, while others have panoramic city views and private balconies.

WIDER USA STAYS
to hit the jackpot beyond the casinos…
FREMONT STREET Situated in downtown Las Vegas lies Fremont Street. This historic five-block pedestrian zone features a host of holiday delights. You can catch a free concert full of dazzling performances almost every night. Or if you’re feeling brave, the famous SlotZilla zipline can send you soaring over downtown’s most vibrant entertainment district. Fremont Street also offers a range of eateries at a generally more affordable rate than the Strip. We love ending our night with the Viva Vision Light Show, a dream-like display of visuals and music showcased on the world’s largest LED canopy screen.
HELICOPTER TOUR OVER THE GRAND CANYON Step inside the classic holiday brochure shot and discover the Grand Canyon in the grandest way possible. A helicopter tour allows you to admire this natural wonder in all its glory. Although the Grand Canyon is in northwest Arizona, tours beginning in Vegas run seven days a week and can be booked before arrival or at your hotel desk. The tours range from halfday to full-day experiences and can be combined with other attractions to suit all preferences. Have your camera at the ready for some of the world’s most iconic sights.
WORLD-CLASS SHOWS Las Vegas delivers world-class shows that run year-round. Depending on when you go, you may be able to time it with a residency of one of your favourite pop stars. In 2026, some of our favourite artists with Las Vegas residencies were Kelly Clarkson, No Doubt, Jennifer Lopez, and the Backstreet Boys. For the latest lineups, just ask our experts. Another highlight in the Vegas show calendar is Cirque du Soleil. Featuring magnificent performances from a range of acrobatic talents, this is a show for all ages.

LAS VEGAS
If you like to keep active, there are several trails to choose from. One that we highly recommend is Calico Tank Trail. Located in Red Rock Canyon, this popular hike is known for its otherworldly red sandstone and panoramic views of Las Vegas. A roughly 2.5-mile round-trip, this moderate-level hike does have some challenging sections that require rock scrambling, so it may not be for everyone. That said, the effort is well rewarded. Along the way, hikers can witness striking rock formations and a natural water basin at the summit. Here, you’ll find quiet tranquillity in contrast to the city below.
The Strat (formerly known as The Stratosphere Tower) is the tallest freestanding observation tower in the United States, standing at a whopping 1,149 feet tall. It is a feature of the Strat Hotel at the northern end of the Strip, offering a 360-degree view of the Vegas skyline, which you can toast with award-winning dining at Top of the World restaurant. Yet it’s not simply an observation tower; daredevils can get their fix here, too. Choose from a range of thrills, including X-Scream, a roller coaster-like ride, and Big Shot, where riders are shot up the tower at 45mph before plummeting back to Earth.
FLAMINGO WILDLIFE HABITAT The Flamingo Wildlife Habitat, located at the Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel, is a peaceful oasis right in the heart of the Strip and home to a flock of Chilean flamingos, as well as swans, pelicans, koi fish, and turtles. Open daily, it’s the perfect spot to slow the pace, especially for families with younger children.

LA 2028
Summer Olympic Games Guide If there’s ever a reason to visit California, this is it. Forty-four years after Los Angeles last hosted the Summer Olympic and WIDER USA 2028 OLYMPICS
Paralympics, the City of Angels will once again grace us with the biggest sporting event on Earth. From Friday 14th July - Sunday 13th August 2028, the LA Games will feature 36 individual sports, 51 disciplines, 2 showstopping opening and closing ceremonies, and a record-breaking 350+ medal events. The stage is set for this to be one of the greatest Olympics yet.
VENUES & EVENTS The Games will be spread across more than 40 venues in and around Los Angeles and Southern California, plus a few events in Oklahoma City, which already boasts amazing, purpose-built facilities that are perfect for high-level competitions. The Greater Los Angeles region has been divided into several ‘Zones’ that will host different sports. The Port of Los Angeles Zone will host the sailing events, the DTLA (Downtown Los Angeles) Zone will host events such as boxing, wheelchair basketball, and artistic gymnastics at the multi-purpose DTLA Arena, and the LA Memorial Coliseum in the Exposition Park Zone will host athletics competitions. Other Zones featured include Venice, Carson, Inglewood, Pasadena, Long Beach, and Anaheim - quick trip to Disneyland, anyone? In addition, the football tournament will be hosted in various other US cities including Columbus, Ohio, New York City, New York, Nashville, Tennessee, and St. Louis, Missouri.
MUST-SEE MOMENTS From the zen-like calm of rhythmic gymnastics to the fast-paced action of track and field, Olympic events can have you transfixed from start to finish. Our colleague Lisa attended the Athens Games all the way back in 2004, and she still talks about the electric atmosphere, the roar of the crowd, the passionate fans, and the carnival-like energy that filled every venue. Other Summer Games events not to miss include swimming, cycling, triathlon, tennis, and the increasingly popular beach volleyball that is well suited to LA’s climate.
98
While there is a roster of rising stars ready to steal the spotlight, we can also hope to see US icons like Simone Biles in the artistic gymnastics and Sha’Carri Richardson on the track, as well as Team GB’s star swimmer Adam Peaty, Spain’s tennis marvel Carlos Alcaraz, and Canada’s multiple gold medal-winning swimming sensation, Summer McIntosh.
Set your watches for ‘Super Saturday’ on 29th July 2028, which is due to be a jam-packed feast of 26 finals events across 23 sports including basketball, equestrian jumping, beach volleyball, and swimming - one of the busiest and most exciting days in Olympic history!
In a sprawling city like Los Angeles, where you should book your accommodation largely depends on which events you hope to attend and what else you want to see and do while you’re there. Downtown LA is the central hub in the city with an excellent public transportation system, including the Metro, which will take you to several Olympic Games venues. This energetic base is perfect for city sightseeing, high-end shopping, vibrant nightlife, and dining out. For coastal events, beach volleyball and skateboarding, Santa Monica will be a gorgeous place to stay for a few days, not least for its classic California beach vibe, as well as good Metro connections, and unique shopping and dining. Inglewood is less touristy and home to the illustrious SoFi Stadium, where the opening and closing ceremonies will be taking place, while Pasadena is a more affordable, quieter option with access to the Metro (L) Gold Line.
WIDER USA 2028 OLYMPICS
WHERE TO STAY
TOP TIPS Book your accommodation and flights 12-18 months in advance as hotels and seats will fill up fast, especially when there’s an exceptional international event taking place Keep checking LA28’s website for the latest ticket drops. The most popular events sell out quickly, but there will still be availability for other events even a few days beforehand Prepare for the weather! The hottest period is from 1st July to 30th September, with an average daily high of above 27 °C
FAQS DO I NEED CAR HIRE? Los Angeles is famous for its traffic but has reliable and inexpensive public transport, so hiring a car may not be essential until you need to drive further out to other areas of California. If you’re planning a multi-centre trip, consider booking your car hire on the day you leave LA so you can continue your journey in style and comfort.
WHAT TRAVEL DOCUMENTS WILL I NEED?
99
For trips under 90 days, the standard requirements apply. UK citizens will need a valid biometric passport to enter the USA, as well as an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation) under the U.S Visa Waiver Program.

FIVE KEY STEPS TO PLAN AN ACCESSIBLE HOLIDAY A little planning before you travel can make your travel experience much easier. If you require assistance boarding or leaving the aircraft, or travelling with essential mobility equipment, please let us or your airline know around two weeks in advance.

Your airline will have a dedicated contact for arranging any airport or onboard support.
STEP TWO: HIRE AN ADAPTED VEHICLE Book an adapted vehicle with us before you travel to ensure you have the right vehicle for your trip to Florida or California. The Dodge Grand Caravan is a popular choice, with wheelchairaccessible features including a remote-powered ramp and lowered floor.

Depending on your requirements, accommodation features may include wider doorways, step-free access, roll-in showers, hoistaccessible pools, visual and audible alarm systems, accessible pathways, closed captioning, hearing-support technology, and ADA-compliant rooms.
