Introducing Tampa
Florida’s third-largest city is all business. Well, mostly business. Chains and oversized office parks line the highways and it’s not immediately apparent what there is to do here, other than get a nine-to-five job. But Tampa’s revitalized historic district Ybor City and a few downtown museums absolutely reward a stop. Information’s available at the convention & visitors bureau (813-223-2752, 800-448-2672; www.visittampabay.com; 615 Channelside Dr; 9:30am-5:30pm Mon-Sat, 11:30am-5pm Sun).
