Your flight to Tampa takes you to Florida’s Gulf coast and the gateway to the Tampa Bay resorts. Seek out the thrills of Busch Gardens’ roller-coaster and rides or dive with sharks at The Florida Aquarium.
Step back in time at Tampa’s Ybor City Museum State Park to learn about the Cuban immigrants, the cigar factories where they worked and the social clubs where they partied. Immerse yourself in the local culture at the Tampa Museum of Art with its vast array of paintings, sculpture and photography.
Away from the crowds, walk the trails of Caladesi Island State Park (45km from Tampa) or enjoy the water sports on the abundant beaches from Tampa to St Petersburg (32km from Tampa) and beyond. Or head to an American football game by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Raymond James Stadium.
Locals in Tampa love their seafood, Cuban coffee and bread. Dine on fresh grouper sandwiches, seared tuna or sushi, and treat yourself to a Cuban cigar and cocktail or a cold beer.
