Getting here

Tulsa International Airport is the city’s main gateway. It’s about 10 miles from downtown. Taxis are the best way to get to your hotel, but Tulsa Transit (route 203) has bus service to their main Denver Avenue Station (319 S. Denver), and also to the Memorial Midtown Station (on 33rd).

 

Getting around

On the Tulsa Transit interactive website you can find out if the public transportation system can provide what you need to get around. If not you'll likely need a car to get around this sprawling city, more so to explore the surrounding countryside.
