Gainesville is home to the University of Florida, one of the country's largest public research universities, and much of the city's travel revolves around it: academic conferences, research partnerships, medical appointments at UF Health Shands, and recruiting and alumni visits. The university's research has spawned a steady stream of biotech and technology startups, and the city's healthcare sector draws patients from across North Central Florida and South Georgia.
On fall Saturdays, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, better known as The Swamp, fills with orange and blue, and hotel rooms within an hour's drive become scarce. Outside of game days, visitors explore the region's freshwater springs, the wild savanna of Paynes Prairie, the horse farms around Ocala and the old fishing village of Cedar Key on the Gulf. Getting to Gainesville often means connecting through Atlanta or Charlotte or driving long stretches of I-75. Flying privately turns a game weekend, a campus visit or a meeting with university researchers into a simple round trip, with the whole family aboard at one price.

Things to do in Gainesville
When to go. Fall is Gainesville's peak, with Gators football Saturdays from September through November and homecoming driving demand for hotels and travel. Spring is mild and pleasant, with university commencement weekends in late April and early May. Summer is hot and humid, a good time to cool off in the nearby springs, and while hurricanes are less frequent this far inland, the June-through-November season can still bring heavy rain and wind.
