Tampa River Walk

The Tampa Riverwalk is an approximately 2.5-mile-long paved scenic trail that runs along the Hillsborough River in downtown Tampa. Recent visitors were impressed by how well-maintained and clean the trail is, and noted that it's an ideal place to stretch your legs and get some exercise.

Visitors can walk, bike, rollerblade and access any number of restaurants, stores, parks and playgrounds, bike rental shops and top attractions, such as The Florida Aquarium and Glazer Children’s Museum.

Busch Gardens

Spanning 335 acres and boasting more than 200 animal species, live shows, restaurants, roller coasters, shops and games, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is a popular way to spend a day under the Tampa sun.

Ybor City

Pronounced ee-bore, this northeast enclave of Tampa was once a hotbed for hand-rolled cigars – at the turn of the 20th century factory workers rolled millions of cigars annually, making Tampa the "Cigar Capital of the World." Now, it's a mash of old and new; the lively bars and pubs represent the modern city; the brick streets and historic streetcar serve as a tribute to the neighborhood's past.
