Can I go to Orlando from Miami by train?

Hop on a Train Brightline high-speed rail service from Miami to the new Orlando Station at Orlando International Airport is available. Choose from the budget-friendly Smart Service ticket level or treat yourself to Premium Service, which includes free drinks, snacks and priority boarding.



Yes, you can travel from Miami to Orlando by train, and in 2026, you have two very different options. The most popular and modern choice is Brightline, a high-speed private rail service that connects MiamiCentral station to the Orlando International Airport (MCO) in about 3 hours and 30 minutes. Brightline offers a "premium" experience with leather seats, Wi-Fi, and a lounge-like atmosphere, with frequent departures throughout the day. Alternatively, you can take Amtrak, specifically the "Silver Meteor" or the recently rebranded "Floridian" (which combined the Silver Star and Capitol Limited routes). Amtrak is generally cheaper than Brightline but much slower, taking approximately 5 to 6 hours, as it uses the older freight-heavy rail lines. Amtrak's station in Orlando is located downtown (south of the CBD), whereas Brightline arrives at the airport's Terminal C. Depending on your final destination in Orlando (the theme parks vs. downtown), you might choose one over the other for convenience.
