What Tampa Has to O� erTampa has all the attributes and things to do that make Florida one of the world’s favorite vacation destinations. Florida is home to some of the largest theme parks found anywhere. From Disney World in Orlando to Busch Gardens right here in Tampa. From mild to wild, we’ve got what you’re looking for. If you want some fun and sun, three of the ten best beaches in the country are just minutes away. If you’re in the mood for the arts or cultural en-lightenment, dramatic productions from opera to orchestras will bring you to your feet in applause at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts and other cultural venues.
Great restaurants are numerous. Tampa’s multi-national kitchen magicians work wonders with fresh seafood and locally grown produce. If you just want a steak, we have some of the best chop houses around. Tampa is known for its night life from the more reserved local spots to the bustling venues like Ybor city. In Tampa, it’s nearly im-possible to drive more than � ve minutes and not stumble on to a golf course. Come in early or stay an extra day to play some golf.
