Getting to Central Florida could not be any easier, especially if you decide to fly here, Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the main airport the majority of visitors arrive into. It's a major International Airport, the busiest airport in the state of Florida and the thirteenth busiest airport in the entire United States.

​

Orlando International Airport is home to over 50 airlines, including all of the major airlines and many non-stop flights to places all around the country and the world on a daily basis. Orlando International Airport is also home to many rental car companies and offers a huge amount of parking as well. Plus there many options to get from the airport to your hotel, including many free hotel shuttles, and it's only a 15-minute drive to all of the great Orlando theme parks and attractions!

 

Plus, in addition to Orlando International Airport, Central Florida is home to The Orlando-Sanford International Airport which is located 18 miles northwest of Orlando, and this airport is home to many smaller airlines and private planes. Lots of smaller cities around the U.S. are served with service to Orlando through Allegiant Airline, and a lot of these flights are more economical than flying through a larger company. While this airport may be about a 45-minute drive to the attractions area, it may be well worth it if it saves you money on flights.

​

Other regional airports (within a 90 min drive) include Daytona Beach International Airport and Orlando Melbourne International Airport which is home to daily TUI arrivals from throughout the UK including Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Newcastle, and London.​

 

In addition, visitors visiting the Gulf Coast may consider flying into Tampa International Airport.

By Train

​

If you don’t like to fly, the Orlando area has four Amtrak stations, Orlando, Winter Park, Kissimmee and Sanford. At the Orlando station, you can get the Silver Meteor and the Silver Star service with service from Orlando to places north like Charleston, S.C., Washington, D.C. and New York City or to other parts in Florida, like Tampa and Miami.

 

In nearby Sanford, the southern terminus of the Amtrak Auto Train carries passengers and automobiles between Sanford and Lorton, Virginia, effectively serving as a car-rail link from Orlando to the Washington, D.C. Metro Area.

​

In addition, travelers will soon be able to take a Brightline high-speed train between Orlando and major population centers in South Florida, including Miami and West Palm Beach.

By Car

 

Driving to Orlando should really be considered as a real and viable possibility for anyone looking for a road trip!

 

Central Florida’s attractions are in a great location and easily accessibility by car. Orlando is located right in the heart of Central Florida and is intersected by two major highways, with two more under an hour away. Interstate 4 cuts right through Orlando, running from the east coast of Florida (Daytona) to the west coast (Tampa) and all of the major attractions are located right off this highway. Florida’s Turnpike (a toll road) runs north to south through the state as well and passes right through the City Beautiful. Interstates 75 (on the west coast) and 95 (on the east coast) are also major routes to Florida, and anyone getting to the Sunshine State via either of these highways can either take the Turnpike or I-4 to get to your ultimate vacation spot here in Orlando.

By Bus

 

Orlando is home to a Greyhound station. Located on John Young Parkway, about 10 miles from the attractions area, this station is open 24 hours a day and is also another affordable way to get down to Orlando.
