Nearby, let kids have hands-on experiences involving space, the human body, weather and a ropes course at the Museum of Science & Industry.

Watch professional sports with Tampa Bay Lightning hockey at Amalie Arena, New York Yankees spring training at Steinbrenner Field and Tamba Bay Buccaneers football at Raymond James Stadium. For outstanding stage events see a Broadway show, concert, dance or comedy at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts.

When you’re finally ready for some beach time, cross the long, tall and impressive Sunshine Skyway Bridge and head to Clearwater and St. Petersburg. The white sands and warm waters will put a nice cap on your visit to the Tampa Bay area.

#### Food in Tampa

From deviled crabs to fresh seafood and grilled grouper sandwiches, Tampa’s cuisine captures the flavors of Florida’s Gulf Coast. Savor these local favorites in bayside neighborhoods such as South Tampa and West Tampa. The city’s food is also shaped by its diverse cultural heritage, with Cuban and Spanish influences playing key roles. A must-try when visiting Tampa is the Cuban sandwich, made with roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese and pickles, originally served to Ybor City cigar workers in the 19th century. These rich food traditions stand alongside Tampa’s growing reputation as a gourmet hot spot. The city received its first Michelin stars in 2023, with several more added since.

#### Nightlife in Tampa

A night out in Tampa city can mean anything from high-energy clubbing to laid-back evenings in scenic bars. At the heart of it all is Ybor City, the historical Latin quarter, buzzing with dance clubs, pubs, cigar bars and live music venues. It’s also home to the GaYbor District, a popular neighborhood with many LGBTQ-friendly bars and nightclubs. For a more low-key night, head to [SoHo](https://www.expedia.com/Tampa-SoHo.dx6321578) (South Howard) for stylish rooftop lounges and cocktail bars. Tampa’s Riverwalk also lights up after dark, and waterfront bars and restaurants come with stunning views of the [Hillsborough River](https://www.expedia.com/Hillsborough-River-State-Park-Tampa.d6321384.Vacation-Attraction).

#### Shopping in Tampa

Whether you’re looking for luxury items or one-of-a-kind treasures, Tampa city has something for every shopper. For high-end fashion and upscale shopping, explore the luxury boutiques and designer stores at [International Plaza and Bay Street](https://www.expedia.com/International-Plaza-And-Bay-Street-Tampa.d6128345.Attraction). [Hyde Park Village](https://www.expedia.com/Hyde-Park-Village-Hyde-Park.d6159686.Vacation-Attraction) is another excellent spot for luxury goods. If you’re on a budget, [WestShore Plaza](https://www.expedia.com/Westshore-Plaza-Mall-Tampa.d6128349.Vacation-Attraction) is a great choice, featuring over 100 stores, including popular retailers like JCPenney and Macy’s.

#### Best beaches in Tampa

- For swimming

Clearwater Beach is one of the best beaches for swimming in Tampa, with sugar-white sands, clear, shallow water and a lifeguard presence year-round. For a quiet dip away from the crowds, [Upham Beach Park](https://www.expedia.com/Upham-Beach-St-Petersburg-Clearwater.d6289260.Vacation-Attraction) is about a 40-minute drive from Downtown Tampa. Other good options for a refreshing swim include the beautiful beaches of [Fort de Soto Park](https://www.expedia.com/Fort-De-Soto-Park-St-Petersburg-Clearwater.d6047182.Vacation-Attraction), which is also about 40 minutes away.

Egmont Key, an island at the mouth of Tampa Bay, is one of the best beaches in Tampa for snorkeling. Explore the submerged ruins of an old fort, where you may spot manatees, crabs and schools of tropical fish. The shallow marine-rich waters of Shell Key Preserve are another top snorkeling spot. With warm water year-round and around 240 days of sunshine a year, Tampa is perfect for snorkeling anytime.

#### Getting around Tampa

Getting around Tampa is easy with HART (Hillsborough Area Regional Transit) buses and the free TECO Line streetcars, which offer vintage-style rides between Downtown and Ybor City.

Alternatively, use taxis and rideshare services.
