Overview
Set along Tampa Bay, the city offers a relaxed coastal vibe with plenty to see and do. The Tampa Riverwalk winds through downtown, linking parks, museums, and waterfront restaurants, while neighborhoods like Hyde Park and Seminole Heights showcase historic homes and a buzzing local food scene. The city's subtropical setting means there is almost always sunshine to enjoy.
Tampa also has a rich cultural side, rooted in its diverse communities. Ybor City, once the cigar capital of the world, is now a lively district filled with brick streets, Latin flavors, and nightlife. Museums like the Tampa Museum of Art and the Florida Aquarium add depth to a day in town, and sports fans can catch a game with the Buccaneers, Lightning, or Rays.
Whether you are visiting the beaches, family attractions like Busch Gardens, or simply taking it easy by the bay, Tampa combines easygoing charm with plenty of local flavor. It’s a city that’s both welcoming and full of surprises.

Start your day with a stroll along the Tampa Riverwalk, a scenic, 2.6-mile path that runs along the Hillsborough River. The Riverwalk offers beautiful views of the city, the waterfront, and the historic buildings along the way. It’s a great spot for a leisurely walk, bike ride, or even a boat ride. You’ll also find a variety of shops, restaurants, and parks along the route.
Tip: Stop at the Tampa Museum of Art or the Glazer Children's Museum if you have time to explore local art and interactive exhibits.
Ybor City, a historic neighborhood just a short distance from the Riverwalk, is a must-visit during your day in Tampa. This vibrant area is known for its rich Cuban and Spanish heritage, historic buildings, and lively nightlife. During the day, you can stroll through the cobblestone streets, explore unique shops, and learn about the history of cigar-making at the Ybor City Museum State Park.
Tip: Be sure to check out a Cuban café for an authentic sandwich or Cuban coffee!
If you’re seeking a more thrilling experience, head to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, one of the premier theme parks in the U.S. Known for its combination of thrilling roller coasters, lush gardens, and animal exhibits, it’s an ideal spot for both adventure seekers and families. You can enjoy the rides, see exotic animals, or simply explore the beautifully landscaped park.
Tip: If you are short on time, make sure to catch one of the park’s signature roller coasters, like SheiKra or Montu.
Tampa’s location along the Gulf Coast means you’re just a short drive away from some beautiful beaches. Head to Clearwater Beach or St. Pete Beach, both of which offer powdery white sands and clear blue waters. These beaches are perfect for swimming, relaxing, or enjoying a seafood meal with a view of the Gulf.
Tip: Clearwater Beach is about a 40-minute drive from Tampa, but it’s worth it if you want to enjoy a day by the sea.
For a more family-friendly option, visit the Florida Aquarium, located in downtown Tampa. This expansive aquarium showcases marine life from around the world, including everything from sharks and stingrays to sea turtles and colorful fish. You can explore the exhibits, take a boat tour of the surrounding waters, or even try a hands-on experience with some of the animals.
Tip: The aquarium also offers a wild dolphin tour if you’re looking for a unique, immersive experience on the water.
If you enjoy science and interactive exhibits, head to the Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI). This museum is home to fascinating exhibits on space exploration, robotics, and the environment, as well as a hands-on science center that’s perfect for kids. Don’t miss the IMAX theater, where you can watch a stunning film on nature or space.
Tip: Check the schedule for any special exhibitions or planetarium shows before your visit.
If you’re interested in Tampa’s history, the Henry B. Plant Museum is a great stop. Housed in the former Tampa Bay Hotel, this museum showcases the history of the hotel, the railroad industry, and Tampa’s development during the late 19th century. The museum is located on the campus of the University of Tampa and features beautiful architecture and exhibits about the Gilded Age.
Tip: The museum is small but packed with fascinating history, so be sure to take a guided tour if available.
One of the best ways to see Tampa is from the water. Take a boat tour along Tampa Bay or the Hillsborough River for a unique perspective of the city. You can choose from relaxing sightseeing cruises, dolphin-watching tours, or even a private boat ride to get a close-up view of the local wildlife and waterfront homes.
Tip: Many boat tours depart from the Riverwalk area, making it an easy option to add to your day’s itinerary.
Tampa has a strong Cuban influence, and its culinary scene reflects this vibrant heritage. For lunch or dinner, visit one of the many local Cuban restaurants. Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City is a local institution and offers delicious Cuban dishes, including their famous Cuban sandwich and paella.
Tip: Don’t leave without trying Cuban coffee or a refreshing mojito at one of the local cafés.
If your day in Tampa stretches into the evening, make sure to head to Pier 60 at Clearwater Beach to watch a spectacular Gulf Coast sunset. This iconic spot is famous for its breathtaking views, and at sunset, it becomes a lively gathering place with street performers, local vendors, and beautiful ocean views.
Tip: Arrive early to secure a good spot for the sunset and enjoy the festive atmosphere at the pier.
