Hampton University - - Transportation

The closest major airport is Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, located in Washington, DC, at a driving distance of 132 miles from the city center of Hampton, which can be made in approximately 3 hours.

 

However, there is also Norfolk International Airport, which is located just off I-64, in Norfolk, but does not offer as many flights (from as many destinations) such as Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

 

Getting around in Hampton, VA

The public transportation service is provided by HRT (Hampton Roads Transit), which currently serves more than 1 million people within its 960 square km service area, which consists of Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Hampton, including several others, also serving more than 20 million people in the Hampton Roads metropolitan area.

 

Getting around by car is also a great idea, because this way you have all the major attractions in and near Hampton at your service, at what hour you please, and you can get to your desired destination in or outside the city, without having to wait for the bus to arrive (which sometimes can take as long as 30 minutes). However, the main `downside`, regarding driving around in Hampton, is that there aren't sufficient parking spots in the city and you might end up circling around the city's parking spaces for minutes, in hope of getting one.

 

Bottom line: the best way to get around in the city is by bus, especially if you're on a budget during your stay in Hampton.
