- Driving
The overall driving time if you are coming from Sanford and attempting to get to Tampa will be around 1 hour 53 minutes, meaning that it is perfectly manageable in the car or on public transport. Hence, unlike with many trips across the United States, you will not have to take an internal flight to get where you need to go.
To get there you will need to take the FL-417 S ramp to Orlando and merge onto the Florida 417 Toll S. Once you've done this, you will need to slight left onto the FL-408 using signs for Florida 408 (West).
Once you've done this, take the 10A exit to merge onto the l-4 W towards the Tampa area. Keep left here at the fork so that you continue towards N Tampa St.
Then, take the exit 45A towards Downtown W and then follow signs for Tampa St and then merge onto N Tampa St. Then, turn right onto E Kennedy Blvd and you will find yourself in the central Tampa area.
