Planning a Trip

Getting There

If you're driving from Miami, it's a straight shot north to Hollywood or Fort Lauderdale. Visitors on their way to or from Orlando should take the Florida Turnpike to exits 53, 54, 58, or 62, depending on the location of your accommodations.

The Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is small, easy to negotiate, and just 15 minutes from both of the downtown areas it services. However, its user-friendliness may not last much longer: Due to its popularity, the airport is still undergoing a $650-million expansion and renovation that often renders it just as maddening as any other major metropolitan airport. The airport has wireless Internet access and a fantastic car-rental center where 10 rental companies are under one roof -- very convenient. Levels 1 through 4 are home to Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, E-Z, Hertz, National, Royal, and Thrifty. Levels 5 to 9 provide 5,500 spaces for public parking.

Amtrak (tel. 800/USA-RAIL) stations are at 200 SW 21st Terrace (Broward Blvd. and I-95), Fort Lauderdale (tel. 954/587-6692), and 3001 Hollywood Blvd. (northwest corner of Hollywood Blvd. and I-95, Hollywood; tel. 954/921-4517).
