Rent a Bus To Visit Gainesville Neighborhoods
Planning a tour of all that Gainesville has to offer outside of the Gators? Charter a minibus and make all the locations below even easier to explore with a personal driver.
Downtown
Downtown Gainesville offers local attractions for those interested in historic sites and live music in Gainesville. Start your tour on East University and head east, making your way through the various shops and eateries on SE First Street until you make your way over to the 4th Avenue Food Park, and the surrounding music halls. When planning a multi-destination trip here with friends, you can opt for a charter bus or even a party bus if your party requires something larger. If you’re hosting your guests for an event at one of Gainesville’s downtown venues, you can also take your private vehicle down this street as long as it is parked for only a short amount of time.
Midtown
Explore Midtown with its beautiful old houses on E University Avenue, south of Sweetwater Branch. Here you can find a mix of high-end cocktail lounges and unique eateries such as Dragonfly and Flaco’s.
Innovation District
Located on SW 2nd Avenue just south of University of Florida campus, this relatively small but dynamic district has art studios, breweries, bars, and eateries. You may also catch some of the UF fraternities and sororities out for a meal or study break at Cymplify or First Magnitude. If you’re organizing a Greek gathering or want to explore local culture as part of a college tour or group of prospective students, the Innovation District has some gems for you and your peers. Just remember, buses aren’t allowed in the pedestrian portion of this street—the district spans roughly from Depot Park up to Bo Diddley Plaza.
