Tampa, Florida, offers more than just sunshine and palm trees, it’s a city with character, history, and plenty of unexpected experiences. Founded as a military outpost in the 19th century, Tampa has grown into a vibrant waterfront city with strong Cuban, Spanish, and Italian influences. This cultural blend is especially noticeable in Ybor City, a historic district known for its red-brick buildings and deep cigar-making roots. Once dubbed the “Cigar Capital of the World,” Ybor still has hand-rolling cigar shops, where visitors can watch skilled artisans at work.

Downtown Tampa has become a walkable hub thanks to the Tampa Riverwalk that winds along the Hillsborough River, connecting parks, museums, restaurants, and public art. The Florida Aquarium, located right on the waterfront, is a family favorite with its coral reef tunnel, touch tanks, and outdoor splash pad. Just a few blocks away, the Tampa Bay History Center dives into the region’s past, including pirate lore, Cuban immigration, and early Indigenous cultures.
