Westchester County Airport (HPN IATA also known as White Plains Airport). The closest airport, about 20 minutes drive. Rental cars are available. Stewart International Airport (SWF IATA). Another alternative to the congestion of the 3 major airports. Allegiant Air, American Eagle, and JetBlue operate flights from Florida and Philadelphia (Mar 2021). Newark Liberty International Airport, Newark, New Jersey, John F. Kennedy International Airport, and LaGuardia Airport: The three major international airports in the New York City area offer service to just about anywhere. Westchester-based taxi and livery cars offer regular service to and from the three internationals from most areas of the county. New York City yellow cabs will take to you Westchester in a pinch (they are required to by law), but the fares can be exorbitant and many cabbies don't know the way. Ride apps like Uber and Lyft are legal between NYC and Westchester in either direction and are generally cheaper and more reliable than taking a yellow cab. Ask if your hotel offers shuttle service. Tarrytown is easily accessible from the northeastern United States of America via interstate highways such as the New England and New Jersey Turnpikes (I-95) and the New York State Thruway system. The I-87 portion of the Thruway connecting Albany and New York City crosses the Hudson River at Tarrytown on the Tappan Zee bridge as does I-287, which connects with I-95 to the east.

Getting around Tarrytown depends on whether or not you are staying in local lodging and what you want to see. If arriving by train from New York City and planning on only a day trip within the central business district, you can easily get about on foot or by local taxi. NY Waterway tours have their own bus transportation between destinations. If you stay in local hotels or motels, your own vehicle or taxi service are something of a necessity. Broadway (aka Route 9) is the main north to south route through the village. It is divided into North Broadway and South Broadway by Main Street.
