Natural beauty in a busy city

Walkable Bike-Friendly Mass Transit Historic Outdoors Riverfront Beaches Sports Theater Culture Art

Downtown Tampa combines the natural beauty of Florida with the hustle and bustle of the big city. Stretched along the Hillsborough River at the mouth of the bay, Downtown Tampa offers all of the prerequisite Florida fun: boating, fishing, water-skiing, and beautiful Gulf Coast beaches. Downtown Tampa is directly across the river from the University of Tampa, adding a college-town element to the neighborhood.

You'll never run out of things to do in Tampa. During hockey season, cheer on the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena (and when it isn't hockey season, a variety of other sports events and live concerts). Enjoy a Broadway play, an opera performance, and other events at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts. Peruse the art at Tampa Museum or Art, or head to the historic Tampa Theatre to watch a performance in a 1926 landmark. Head to the waterfront to tour the Tampa Bay History Center or go shopping at Channelside Bay Plaza. Marvel at the marine life at the Florida Aquarium. And when you feel like a vacation, head to the Port Tampa Bay and enjoy a cruise.
