Getting Here

The Gainesville Regional Airport is just 15 minutes from the University of Florida campus, and has several local flights available through Delta and US Air. You can take a taxi from the airport to any destination in Gainesville. If you cannot get directly to Gainesville, then Jacksonville, Orlando, and Tampa are all about a two hour drive from Gainesville, but you will have to arrange for transportation from there to Gainesville (some buses are available).
