Bus from Orlando to Miami

The bus from Orlando to Miami is the southern leg of the steady Florida-to-Florida corridor, taking you from theme park country down to the South Florida coast. People take this route for cruise port connections, for college visits to UM and FIU, for beach weekends after a theme park trip, for Heat and Marlins games, or for visits between central Florida and South Florida family. Taking the Orlando to Miami bus is the easy way south if you don't want to drive the long Turnpike stretch and pay for parking in Miami Beach when you arrive.

How to get to the Greyhound station in Orlando

Greyhound buses to Miami leave from the Orlando Bus Station at 555 N John Young Parkway, on the northwest side of downtown. The station has indoor seating, restrooms and the basic shelter you'd expect from a working terminal. LYNX local buses serve the surrounding streets, and rideshare drivers know the address well.

The location puts you in the wider downtown corridor, with central Orlando reachable in a few minutes by rideshare. SunRail commuter trains run through downtown if you're coming from the surrounding suburbs.

Plan to arrive in good time before your departure to find your platform and load up. Have your ticket ready on your phone or printed. Greyhound also has a secondary stop at the Florida Mall on the south side, useful if your starting point is in the International Drive corridor or the southern suburbs near the theme parks.

How to get around Miami when your bus from Orlando to Miami arrives

Greyhound services into Miami pull into the Miami Intermodal Center at 3801 NW 21st Street, near Miami International Airport. As an intermodal facility shared with the Metrorail, Tri-Rail commuter trains and the airport, it's one of the easiest places to start your time in the city — most onward connections are right there.

The Metrorail runs from the airport area south through downtown Miami, Brickell, the southern suburbs and out to Dadeland. The Metromover, a free downtown people-mover, loops through Brickell and the central core, putting most of the downtown sights on a single circuit. The Metrobus network covers everywhere the rail doesn't reach. Together they make moving between downtown, Brickell, Wynwood and the wider city manageable without a car.

For Miami Beach, the easiest way across the bay is rideshare or the Metrobus across the MacArthur or Venetian Causeways. Once you're on the beach, walking covers the central Ocean Drive, Lincoln Road and Collins Avenue corridors. For Coral Gables, Coconut Grove and the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, the Metrorail and rideshare both work. For the Everglades and Key Biscayne, a rental car gives you the most flexibility.

Top things to do in Miami

• South Beach, the iconic Miami Beach district, with the Art Deco Historic District along Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue, the lifeguard towers along the sand and the Lincoln Road pedestrian mall.
• The Wynwood Walls and the Wynwood Arts District, the open-air mural district that's become Miami's signature street-art destination.
• The Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Coconut Grove, the early 20th-century estate of industrialist James Deering, with formal gardens, a Renaissance-revival villa and a working stone barge in the bay.
• The Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) downtown on Biscayne Bay, with strong Latin American and Caribbean collections in a Herzog & de Meuron building with hanging gardens.
• Little Havana along Calle Ocho, the Cuban-American neighbourhood west of downtown, with cigar shops, dominoes in Domino Park, ventanitas serving café cubano and the strongest concentration of Cuban food in the country.
• The Frost Science Museum next to PAMM, with a planetarium, an aquarium and a strong run of family-oriented science exhibits.
• Coconut Grove, the bayfront neighbourhood south of downtown, with bookshops, restaurants and a quieter pace than the central tourist corridor.
• Bayside Marketplace and the downtown waterfront, with boat tours of Biscayne Bay and Star Island that are an easy way to see the city from the water.
• The Everglades National Park, an hour west of the city, with airboat tours, walking trails and one of the country's most distinctive ecosystems.
