Welcome to the Tampa page. Tampa is just north of the Sarasota area and Ft Myers which has a ferry down to Key West. Tampa is a party town. Ebor city is located in the downtown or oldtown area and is party central for residents. Like the oldtown of Key West Florida, bars and nightlife make up a large portion of the area but there is also a lot of great history here too. Style and prestige reminiscent of Miami Fl is obvious here, and it is wealthy city, however the demographic is a little older here. The high rise resort hotels and condos in the surrounding areas are affordable and activities abound. The arts are prevalent with great theaters and museums. MOSI is the museum of Science and Industry and offers a great opportunity for education and experiences. They have an IMAX theater and are just down the street from Bush Gardens amusement park. Bush Gardens is owned by Anheuser Busch and yes, they have free beer! In the middle of the park among some of the best roller coasters is a tasting area with great food and wildlife all around it. The samples are not just a little shot either, you actually get a full size cup of beer. There is a limit of two per guest and you must show valid ID, but how many places actually have free beer? The hotels around the park like the Best Western are cheap and you can really get some great deals in off season. You can walk to the park from a few of them, so you don't even have to deal with parking. You can just walk right in. The park is not crowded at all, although it is pretty hot, but we told you how to keep hydrated!
Just across old Tampa Bay you'll find Clearwater which also has an airport. This makes this area very easy to plan a vacation from anywhere. Tampa airport is much larger and flights to just about anywhere in the United States or the world for your vacation can originated from the Tampa airport. There is a large accumulation of cheap hotels surrounding the airport which brings a lot of jobs and permanent residents to the area. Attractions like Bush Gardens and history of Tampa Bay will ensure the successes of this great city. The Bucs football team and Lightning hockey team also bring in a lot of visitors. And when they aren't playing, their stadium hold great arenas for other sporting events and concerts. Not matter what you're into, Tampa is a great and affordable Florida vacation destination.
