Practical tips
for experiencing Come Out With Pride Orlando

The practical stuff so Pride week works — arrival, accommodation, transport and what to bring.

→ When to arrive

Arrive Wednesday · leave Monday

The Pride core runs from Thursday to Sunday. Arriving Wednesday gives you a day to acclimate before the rush. Book at least 3 months ahead — the best hotels are gone by April.

→ Where to stay

Close to the route · 0-10 min walking

Hotels near the route are gold during Pride — you can walk back without fighting for a taxi. Prices rise +30-50% that week.

→ How to get there

Plane + public transport

Urban airports usually have a metro or commuter train direct to the center. Taxi/Uber/Cabify run all night. High-speed rail is competitive for distances <3h.

→ Transport that week

Extended metro · streets closed

Many metro systems run 24h on Pride weekend. The route streets are closed to traffic — taxis don't enter. Walking is usually fastest.

→ What to bring

Heat · shade · water · comfy shoes

European summer in the street: cap, sunglasses, SPF 50, reusable water bottle. Closed shoes for the march — stepping on toes is real.

→ Health · safety

Reinforced health services

Temporary health stations are usually set up in central squares during Pride. STI/PrEP centers often extend hours. EU: EHIC covers emergencies. Other: private insurance recommended.

→ Nightlife

Regular LGBTQI+ clubs in Orlando

If you need a break from Pride or want to go out to the regular clubs, the non-pride scene stays active all week.
