How far is Tampa from Tallahassee when driving?

How long will it take me to drive to Tampa from Tallahassee? I want to take a trip to see my grandparents but I’m not sure if I’d be able to go there and back in one day. Would I need to spend the night?

The distance between Tampa and Tallahassee, Florida is between 250 and 275 miles, depending on the route you decide to take. The drive should take you just over four hours to complete.
While you could, in theory, make the round trip in one day, it would be better to stay with your grandparents for at least one night.
Driving while sleep-deprived
is dangerous—and it’s not very fun to drive over eight hours in one day! Try to get a good night’s sleep before you hit the road again.
It’s also important to make sure that you have a good insurance policy in place to keep you protected on the drive. The
