All about Fort Lauderdale Airport
With sparser crowds at its beaches and a more relaxed atmosphere across its lovely downtown area, Fort Lauderdale is essentially Miami’s chill neighbor. It's an ideal place for families and older travelers looking to enjoy South Florida’s marvelous weather and beaches without having to contend with the sometimes 24/7 nightclub that is South Beach. Even better, there's a surprising number of historical landmarks and museums that make the trip to Fort Lauderdale more constructive than you'd expect.
Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport is one of the busiest airports in Florida and provides a more direct connection to the beaches and canals of Fort Lauderdale than flying in through Miami does. It's a smaller airport, but it provides easy connections to hotels and resorts along the water, and you'll be able to explore downtown within an hour of landing. It's also common for cruise-goers to transit through here en route to Port Everglades to catch a ship.

How to get from Fort Lauderdale Airport to the city
Public transportation isn't much of a factor in Florida, and Fort Lauderdale is no different. The vast majority of travelers will either rent a car at the airport to get around more easily or take a taxi directly to their accommodations. Most resorts and hotels along the water are a 20-minute cab ride from the airport. Still, the public bus network and Tri-Rail Line offer a few useful connections for travelers.
Train connections from FLL to the City Center
Florida’s Brightline railroad connects cities across the state but doesn't factor much into getting around Fort Lauderdale. You can make connections to Orlando and Miami through the Brightline, but this will be more expensive than the Tri-Rail or bus without saving you much time.
Bus connections from FLL to the City Center
The #01 bus line runs directly from Fort Lauderdale Airport through the city and all the way to the beach, making it the most convenient public transportation method serving airline passengers.
- #01 Bus: Las Olas Boulevard (30 minutes), Fort Lauderdale Beach (25 minutes)
Metro lines from FLL to the City Center
The Tri-Rail serves cities across Miami-Dade County, Broward County, and Palm Beach County. It's a useful connection to get to Miami Airport along with a few other destinations nearby, but it's not intended to connect passengers with hotels or attractions in Fort Lauderdale.
- Tri-Rail Station connections: Boca Raton (90 hours), Miami Airport (70 minutes), West Palm Beach (90 minutes)
Points of interest
- The Bonnet House: This marvelous historical mansion is one of the top landmarks in town, and can be reached via public transportation (#1 bus to the #40 bus) in about an hour or by taxi or rideshare in 30 minutes. Parking is limited.
- Las Olas Boulevard: The top retail and culture stretch in town is only a 30-minute bus ride from the airport via the #01 Line.
- Fort Lauderdale Beach: This stretch of white sand is aptly named, and only a 25-minute cab ride from the airport.
