Welcome to Tampa on Florida’s West Coast
The happening city of Tampa is the perfect mix of culture and nature, tranquillity and excitement, with heritage sites and contemporary spaces. The thrilling downtown area will delight you with attractions, restaurants and nightlife to suit every taste, while the peaceful parks and vistas over the bay revive and relax in equal measure, making this a wonderful place to rest and play.
The high-energy Busch Gardens theme park, with its many roller-coasters, will happily entertain those of a more dynamic mind-set, while the Florida Aquarium, ZooTampa at Lowry Park and historic Henry Plant Museum will appeal to nature-lovers and culture vultures alike.
Then enjoy the sights, sounds and tastes of Cuban-influenced Ybor City, Tampa’s historic quarter, which dates back to the 1880s and maintains much of its original charm and allure, with a terrific array of dining outlets, shops, activities and its own original craft breweries and distilleries. This was once the Cigar Capital of the World and that rich heritage is still firmly to the fore, notably at Ybor City Museum State Park.
