About 15 minutes North of the city, in Oshkosh, is Wittman Regional Airport (OSH). The airport no longer has commercial service, but charter flights may be available.
Outagamie County Regional Airport (ATW), located about 40 minutes away in Appleton, is the nearest airport with regularly scheduled commercial service. Flights are available to many U.S. destinations.
Other airports with commercial service include Austin Straubel International (GRB) in Green Bay, General Mitchell International (MKE) in Milwaukee, and Dane County Regional (MSN) in Madison. All are about 1 hour away.
'''By Bus''' Fond Du Lac has a small public bus service running Monday-Friday, until 6pm. Bus fare is $1.25. Service is very limited.
'''By Taxi''' A couple of taxi services do exist in the city. Taxis must be called for ahead of time.
'''By Bicycle''' Fond Du Lac is at the bed of what used to be Glacial Lake Oshkosh. As such, it is almost entirely flat; making bicycling a very good option. While the city streets have no designated lanes for bikes, most traffic is used to cyclists. Note that bikes are not allowed to be ridden on sidewalks in the city's downtown.
'''On Foot''' Visitors looking to travel mostly on foot should expect to do a lot of walking. The city is relatively large. Also note that many sections of the city lack sidewalks or proper pedestrian crossings.

One of the newest and best is Bellafini's, an authentic made-from-scratch Italian bistro located on 14th Street, just off of South Main. Waits for your order to come up can be over an hour, and the dining room is very small, so its best to call ahead.
Fusion, located at 23 S. Main Street, is an upscale restaurant which serves chef-prepared cuisine with a Mediterranean basis. The food and service is comparable to even more expensive restaurants you will find in much larger cities.
An historical drive-in, Gillies, is located just a few blocks further south. They are known for their frozen custard, and the Gillieburger, their peculiar take on the sloppy joe. Try one with a grasshopper malt.
Some of the best pizza to be found is at Joe's Fox Hut, a pub on downtown Main street. Accommodations are refeshingly quaint, and the beer is cold.
Fond du Lac is also the home of the half price pizza. Gino's, an Americanized Italian restaurant, offers half price pizza on sundays and mondays. They specialize in Chicago-style and garlic-alfredo sauce pizzas. On these days, large parties will wait for at least an hour to sit, but you can enjoy happy hour in the meantime.
Oscar's is also well known for half price thin crust pizza on wednesdays and half price Chicago-style on Saturdays. They have no happy hour, but instead offer affordable drinks all evening. A rail whiskey old-fashioned is usually $2.
Trepanier's Backyard Bar & Grill at 838 E. Johnson serves great American-style food in an atmosphere reminiscent of a backyard cookout.
La Tapatia at 609 W. Johnson is an authentic Mexican Restaurant, with delicious food and great service.
Jo Jo's at 832 W. Johnson has great barbecue and Cajun food, and everyone is very friendly.
The cheapest drinks to be had are at Bud and Shirley's Riverside, four miles out of the city on Military Road, just over the 151 bypass. A small tapper beer will run you $0.75, and a Jack and Coke is $2.50. The atmosphere is extremely rural, and if the locals see you exhibit some skill at pool or darts, most will try good-natured bullying to get you to join their team in the local league.
