Tampa
For a taste of life in the big city, visitors cross the bay to Tampa, where they encounter a glittering metropolis that's home to the region's top attractions -- Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, the Florida Aquarium and the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI). Visitors will also discover a revitalized downtown waterfront, notable museums and an extraordinary performing arts and sports calendar.
Ybor City, Tampa's historic Latin Quarter, is rich in Spanish and Cuban tradition. Once known as "the cigar capital of the world," Ybor City offers the area's liveliest nightlife. Much of the northern part of this area is rural, having been set aside as national, state and county parks and preserves.
