Great town, lots to do, fantastic weather and a great location
Con
Very Humid!! Thunder storms are rampant in summer
In a nutshell
Nice place for a vacation with the family.
54 Reviews Very good value for the money, lots of things to do & see. A Must do if visiting the Tampa area. Busch Gardens does a great job of updating and adding new exhibits to make sure the park stays current. They dismantled the Skyride to make room for a new ride that will not be ready until spring 2011....
23 Reviews common sense will make it anywhere; been there done that , still alive. see Ybor city plenty for shopping, eating, drinking and activities. http://ybor.org/ There is also the bay area, really nice too. hope it helps

7 Reviews Bern's Steakhouse, located on South Howard, looks an awful lot like a high-end French whorehouse, but it is actually a high-end Tampa steakhouse. And you don't just come for a quick dinner; you get the whole dining experience to include about 5 courses to the meal, a tour of the kitchen, a walk...
5 Reviews The one place you must eat while in Tampa is the Columbia Restaurant. Since 1905 it has been a Tampa tradition, and one of the most celebrated restaurants in the city. The Columbia has received numerous rewards including induction into the "Fine Dining Hall of Fame" in Nation's Restaurant News,,...
28 Reviews We wanted some cigars for a wedding gift, so we swung by -- where else -- the cigar capital of the free world, Ybor City. We were looking for a small, quiet place where we cigar novices could choose a bundle or box of cigars without the pressure of a bunch of cigar snobs looking over our shoulders....
6 Reviews Wet Willy's is a small chain of bars that features frozen daiquiri-like drinks made in big premixed coolers lined up behind the bar. This Channelside location is surprisingly popular with 20-somethings on weekend nights after about 10 pm. Their drink flavors include Attitude Improvement, Call a...
15 Reviews Ambiance Transportation offers daily scheduled bus transportation service between Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale and Miami. From the website the coach is new and quite nice. The trip is approx 4 hours. They have reclining seats, overhead bins, AC, a on-board bathroom, and free movies on board so remember...
12 Reviews We had a very pleasant experience with this company. they picked our group up at the airport on time and stayed in contact with us the entire time and the return trip was easy as well as they stayed in touch with us while on the cruise ship. very professional company, courteous, gave us bottled...
5 Reviews This mall is cram packed with high end stores like Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Dillards, , Robb & Stucky Interiors, Aveda, Brookstone, Discovery Channel Store, Harry and David, Kenneth Cole, Kenneth Cole, Montblanc, Helzberg Diamonds, Swarovski.... In fact, I have friends who fly into Tampa just to...
5 Reviews According to www.stripclublist.com, Tampa boasts about 32 strip clubs/gentleman's clubs within the city limits. With a population of 303,447 in Tampa, that is about one strip club for every 9,500 people. For comparison New Hampshire has just one gentleman's club for every 440,000 people (I guess...
8 Reviews The worst area you're likely to encounter is gonna be the outskirts of Ybor City. If you drive to Ybor, park in one of the parking garages. They're pretty close to the center and well-maintained. Your other option will be along one of the side streets (at night), say 8th or 9th Ave, and you could...
3 Reviews Tampa is the lightning capital of the world, but there's not much to be afraid of. You are twice as likely to be struck by lightning as you are to be shot while attending school, so you're not bloody likely to be struck. However, there's some stuff you should know: * If a rain storm with lightning...
3 Reviews As a Tampa native, today's Ybor City is highly disappointing. The robust, vibrant, culturally unique neighborhood where my parents and grandparents grew up (see pic) AND the artistic bohemian community that began Ybor's comeback in the 80s have both been largely replaced by an unexciting collection...
8 Reviews I like to travel light, but this is up to you. You don't need any heavy winter clothes in Tampa, that's for sure! During the summer, make sure you have light clothes and flip-flops! It rains a lot too, so be prepared! For the winter, I would say spring/fall clothes. Sunscreen is a must!...
3 Reviews If you're not used to a lot of sun, you'll need to apply sunscreen often -- unless your idea of a nice tan is fire engine red. Locals can often spot tourists a mile away by their brand-new 'Florida' gear and peeling sunburns. The ozone layer is thinning, so be prepared... Mosquito repellent is a...
5 Reviews hillsborough river state park is located northeast of tampa near the town of thonotoassa. historically the area was the site of fort foster during the second seminole war. most visitors come to the park to canoe the river's class II rapids and to walk the park's seven miles of nature trails....
5 Reviews The Christopher Columbus Monument is located just south of the central business district along Bayshore Drive. The statue was created by Albert Sabas, and features a statue of Columbus atop a stone pillar. The statue is located in aptly named Columbus Statue Park which is the northern end of...
5 Reviews Captain Dave is a grizzled veteran Tampa charter fisherman, and while he may be gruff at times, he knows his stuff. For $600, four of us fished for nearly eight hours, catching just a few edible fishing including flounder. We began our day at O'Neil's Marina in St. Pete next to the Sunshine Skyway...
5 Reviews From downtown Tampa, the big beach towns of Clearwater Beach, Indian Rocks Beach, Indian Shores, Bellaire Beach, Reddington Shores, Fort Desoto Park, and others. Fort DeSoto Park beach was named America's best beach in Dr. Stephen P. Leatherman's annual rankings. Another nearby favorite is...
5 Reviews University of Tampa is located on the Hillsborough River just across from downtown Tampa's Central Business District. UT has nearly 6,000 students who are able to graduate with degrees in about 100 different areas. The most impressive and historic building on campus is Plant Hall, built in 1888 and...

Q: Hello! I need to go from Tampa to Destin. Flights are waaay too expensive. Any other ideas? Thanks!
A: It's either fly, rent a car, get a ride, or take the bus. Bus is cheaper (http://greyhound.com/).

Tampa's a nice city; it's like Reno only without the legalized prostitution. Or the bright lights. Or the Conway Twitty Museum. Well, actually, it's not like Reno at all.
