Tampa Bay is served by one of the world’s most highly regarded airports, Tampa International. Long recognized as “America’s Favorite Airport,” Tampa International is one of the most efficiently designed airports in the world. Conde Nast Traveler magazine has rated Tampa International Airport the best airport in the United States and the third best in the world. Centrally located, Tampa International Airport is just seven miles west of downtown, a few minutes from the campus of The Art Institute of Tampa.

Driving here is a popular option as St. Petersburg/Clearwater is easily accessible from major Interstates along the Midwest (I-75) and Northeast (I-95) corridors, as well as Orlando (I-4).
