Tampa is one of those unsung cities, as dynamic as it is appealing, with word only now spreading about its many charms. Tampa, the commercial and business hub of the west coast is peppered with high-rises and heavy traffic.
Having really come into its own in recent years, the city’s downtown waterfront boasts excellent museums and stunning views. Animal lovers taking holidays in Florida flock Tampa for attractions such as the Busch gardens and Big Cat Rescue. Night-time revellers will appreciate the strips of clubs and bars that make up Ybor City, a historical area with a strong Cuban influence. Tampa also has a plethora of shops, art museums and a broad assortment of restaurants to tickle the fancy of travelling foodies. Ybor City and Downtown are both ideal spots to search for and find some great live music. Not too far outside the town are several amazing nature trails and golf courses. Tampa is also nestled just a short drive away from a long stretch of stunning Gulf Coast beaches. With this long list of attractions, it’s easy to see why many come to Tampa and are hard-pressed to leave.
