Steam from the Big Guava to Music City in a little under ten hours, or find all the adventure you need, in state. Florida road trips from city to city serve up everything you could possibly want from a wander behind the wheel—and plenty more!

Tampa to Orlando

Clutch the keys in a car rental from Tampa to Orlando and feast your eyes on the very best Floridian sights. Stop off in Lakeland for out-of-this-world architecture or make light of the 1-hour Tampa to Disney World® drive time. There is much more than Disney out here, too.

Once you reach the big city, take the Miami trolley on a stupendous street-art tour, head bayside for sensational sky views, or escape it all beneath the swaying palms of Lummus Park.
