Altamonte Mall
Shopping and visiting malls is great! This mall is quite large, belonging to the same group as the Florida Mall.
The cool thing about doing your shopping here is that compared to the malls in Orlando, this one has much lower prices and with several exclusive promotions. There are several outlet stores and you can buy a lot of things at half price or even less.
One of the advantages of coming here to this shopping mall is because it is further away from the tourist area, there is no rush of people shopping like crazy, or those huge queues when paying. And of course, as I said previously, I considered the prices to be much more advantageous than in Orlando.
Among the best-known stores are: Macy's, Forever XXI, Charlotte Russe, department stores such as Dillard's, Sears and JC Penney. In addition, it has a food court to take a break while shopping 🙂
