Winter Park to Providence train

Winter Park is a city in Florida outside Orlando, known for its many outdoor spaces and art and museum centers. The Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens showcases sculptures in a lush setting, the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art is renowned for its Tiffany windows, and the Rollins Museum of Art exhibits artworks from ancient to contemporary periods.

Museums aside, Winter Park is a fabulous urban outdoor destination. Paddle through Winter Park Canals, smell the wisteria at Central Park, and relax in Kraft Azalea Garden on Lake Maitland. Winter Park's premier urban village has cypresses sweeping over red-brick streets lined with cafés, gastro pubs, and brewing companies. Walk along Park Avenue or in the Hannibal Square district for the best shopping and dining in historic settings.

Winter Park is one of the stops on Amtrak's Silver Service between New York City and Miami. FlixBus runs a few intercity bus routes directly to Winter Park, but additional bus lines go through nearby Orlando.

Though some might say that it is overshadowed by nearby Boston, Providence is an interesting destination on its own. A quaint college town with a deep historical value, Providence allows fans of U.S. history to marvel at historic buildings such as the ones on Benefit Street, which boasts the highest concentration of Colonial houses. As you stroll around the streets of Providence at night, don’t forget to take a detour to WaterFire, a sculpture project that features bonfires along the rivers of Providence. Accompanying the bonfires are the sounds of ceremonial gongs and various music programs, which brighten up the night. For those seeking a unique cultural experience, the Federal Hill quarter sits among the most famous Little Italian neighborhoods, and it features some of the best Italian restaurants in town.

The staple dish of Providence is oysters, which are not difficult to find in the city. However, if you can endure a short drive, Matunuck Oyster Bar, an oyster restaurant located 40 miles south of South Kingstown, provides some of the freshest and most delicious oysters around. Some other notable establishments include Birch, Oberlin, and Tallulah’s Taqueria.

The Providence airport is located in nearby Warwick which is only a 6 miles’ drive from the city. The main bus hub for Providence is found at the Rhode Island Convention Center Parking Garage, where travelers could catch a bus from Greyhound or Peter Pan Bus Lines. The main Amtrak train station is located just a 10-minute walk across the Woonasquatucket River.
