How can I get to South Kensington and get around on a budget?

Scoping out the transportation options in South Kensington is a smart way to keep your trip affordable. The most convenient airport is 8.3 mi (13.4 km) away from the centre in College Park, MD (CGS). However, if that doesn't suit your budget, you can book a flight to Gaithersburg, MD (GAI-Montgomery County Airpark), located 11.6 mi (18.6 km) away.
