Cheap train tickets from Orlando to Fredericksburg

Orlando is the Theme Park Capital of the World, thanks to the high density of thrilling parks like Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, LEGOLAND, Gatorland and more. It's no wonder we rated Orlando the #1 travel destination for families. Family vacation or not, if the highlight of your trip is picking out a wand at Ollivanders in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter or finally meeting Elsa in the Magic Kingdom, you know we won't judge.

Winter Park and Thornton Park – not more theme parks, we promise – are trendy neighborhoods where you can experience some of Orlando's world-class shopping, dining, and craft beer. You can also immerse yourself in some of Florida's unique wildlife at Orlando Wetlands Park, or the more central Lake Eola Park downtown. Orlando enjoys an average of 233 days of sunshine a year, so even though it's one of the cheapest cities to visit over Spring Break, you'll soak up that sweet, sweet sun almost any time of year.

Craving the ocean? Head a few hours outside Orlando for some of Florida's gorgeous beaches like New Smyrna Beach, Cocoa Beach, and the Canaveral National Seashore. Two large airports, as well as many bus and train companies with service in the area, mean that traveling from Orlando to other sunny Florida destinations and beyond is a breeze.

Fredericksburg is a treasure trove for history fans, especially those interested in the Civil War era. When you are in town, check out Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park, a site of four major battlefields during the Civil War. The park also features guided tours to contextualize what you see in the park. To learn more about the contributions of African Americans in Virginia, don't miss out on the historical sites along the Spotsylvania African American Heritage Trail. Fans of the nation's first president will want to hit up George Washington's Ferry Farm, where he spent several years during his childhood.

Fredericksburg is a famous location if you wish to grab some craft beer. The local breweries will quench your thirst with ease; Red Dragon Brewery and Spencer Devon Brewing are two standouts. If you are looking for a place to eat, The Log Cabin Restaurant is a local favorite with a cozy vibe.

Bus and train routes connect Fredericksburg to Washington, D.C., Atlanta, New York, and even Houston. Ground travel is usually the preferred mode of transit to reach Fredericksburg since the nearest airport is over 50 miles away at the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
