Getting around Duluth is easy and convenient thanks to the comprehensive public transport system offered by the Duluth Transit Authority. During peak hours, an average of 45 buses are in operation. The perfect way to enjoy this attractive part of the world is by way of the North Shore Scenic Railroad. During May to September several trains a day travel through the city centre area and Canal Park before cruising along the Lake Superior shore. Fully narrated tours tell the fascinating history of the area.
Getting from the Airport to the City
Duluth International Airport (DLH) is about 5.5 miles (9 km) northwest of the city. Duluth Transit Authority offers a bus service from the airport into the city; a journey that is reasonably priced and takes around an hour and a quarter. If you prefer a swifter and more direct way into the city, the airport has a taxi area. Fares are slightly open to negotiation.
Duluth airport overview
Duluth International Airport is located 9km (5 miles) from the city of Duluth, the westernmost deep-water port city on the Atlantic.
Though the city is quite small, there is still enough to keep visitors busy. As it’s the birthplace of Bob Dylan, it’s no surprise that Duluth hosts its own music festival, the Homegrown Music Festival, in May each year. It also has the only freshwater aquarium in the US, and a number of museums.
Duluth International is a small airport that sees little more than 300,000 passengers per year. It’s linked to other major US cities, including Minneapolis, Detroit, and Chicago. As long as you’re not waiting around too long, there’s enough to keep you busy – you can enjoy a quiet drink and a snack, or use the time (and free internet access) to catch up on your emailing.
