Tampa has
fast become a favorite port of departure for a growing

spotlight on the Tampa Bay area. With a wealth of
family-friendly attractions and activities, it’s no
wonder that Tampa’s proverbial arms are wide open to
receive greater numbers of guests each year.

The One Thing
You Don't Want to Miss

For a little
fun, head down to Ybor City, the Cuban district of
Tampa, which used to be the center of production of
hand-rolled cigars. Today this restored area is teeming
with restaurants, shops and bars. It's also a National
Historic Landmark District with amazing wrought-iron
balconies, globe street lights, brick-lined walkways and
the majestic architecture of the old cigar factories.
Other Fun Things to Do

Explore Africa, with zebras, giraffes,
elephants and more, all roaming free in natural
surroundings at Busch Gardens, a 330-acre zoo and
theme park.
-
Visit the Channelside Shops and the
Florida Aquarium, home to an incredible 4,500 animal
and plant species. The Aquarium has a wetlands area,
activities for the whole family and the only diving
shark tank of its kind.
-
Visit St. Petersburg's impressive
Salvador Dali Museum, which houses the largest
collection of Dali's work outside of Spain.
-
Head to the beautiful, powdery white
beaches of nearby St. Petersburg and Sarasota.

The Cuban influence is still strong in
Tampa today. It's a great place to sample delicious

other authentic delicacies.
