About Tampa

Your trip to Tampa Bay can be exactly what you dreamed it could be. Pick from luxurious resorts, suites complete with kitchens, places to park an RV, or perfect spots to pitch a tent. Stroll aboard a luxury cruise liner or climb onto a catamaran. Fish from a pier or cast off from the deck of a deep-sea charter.

You can play a round of golf and then take your seat at a professional ballgame. Buy fresh foods from a farmer's market in the morning, then shop for a designer gown to wear that night. This is the place to be a kid again on a state-of-the-art roller coaster at Busch Gardens, or take your time while you serenely sail along quiet coastal waters, take in a fine art exhibition, or pop open a bottle of aged wine.

Your list of things to do will just keep getting longer! Watch as fine cigars are hand-rolled in Ybor City. Stroll the lush grounds surrounding the Tampa Bay Hotel, Tampa's first luxury resort which is now occupied by the Henry B. Plant Museum and University of Tampa. Watch the world's best entertainers now appearing at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. Or just simply take it easy on one of the guided waterfront cruises, offering close-up views of playful dolphins.

From land or water, observe an abundance of birds in their natural habitats. If rest and relaxation are of interest, pause at one of the many spas found throughout the area. And then set your sights on admiring the area's signature colorful sunsets.
