Downtown Orlando, Orange County

Downtown is where Orlando keeps its offices, courts and oldest streets, well away from the resort hotels. From MCO it is a short ride that finishes on a grid of one-way streets.

- Child seats, meet and greet, tolls and airport fees are in the price

## About Downtown Orlando

People fly into Orlando for downtown for different reasons than the rest of the region: a hearing at the federal court for Florida’s Middle District, meetings near City Hall, a game or concert at the Kia Center, or a weekend in the bars and restaurants around Church Street and Thornton Park.

Lake Eola Park is the middle of it all: 23 acres of water, a landmark fountain and a walking loop just under a mile long, boxed in by Robinson, Rosalind, Central and Eola.

## Arrival notes for Downtown Orlando

- Rosalind only carries traffic north and Orange only south, so the hotel or building name, plus its street, lets the driver pick the right way in.

- On event nights at the Kia Center, or when a bowl game is on at Camping World Stadium, allow extra time to get in and out.

- For short hops during your stay, LYMMO, a free downtown bus with its own lanes, may be all you need.

## Questions travellers ask

### What is the drive time from Orlando airport to downtown?

About 13 miles, roughly 15 to 25 minutes without traffic. Rush hour adds time.

### Is downtown Orlando close to the theme parks?

No. The parks and resorts are well to the southwest, so a park day from a downtown hotel means a longer ride each way.

### Can you pick up from the federal courthouse?

Yes. Give us the building and the street, and a time window if your hearing may run long.
