Orlando is one of the nation’s busiest convention cities and a premier destination for tourists traveling to theme parks. The city typically hosts well over 70 million travelers annually, and its transportation ecosystem is set up to handle that traffic well.
The Orange County Convention Center sits about 11 miles from Orlando International Airport (MCO) and the Brightline high-speed rail station. Transfer typically takes less than 20 minutes. However, the convention center sits almost 40 miles from Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB). If you’re arriving at Sanford, plan for up to an hour of travel time.
The most popular methods for traveling to and from the convention center are ride-share apps like Uber and Lyft. However, Orlando also offers taxi services. If you’re out and about on International Drive, you might also find rickshaw drivers ferrying guests to restaurants, bars and hotels.
