Living in Tampa cannot get any better, whether you choose to soak up the warm sunshine in the ideal subtropical climate, enjoy the gentle sea breeze along an endless stretch of the west coast, or shop relaxingly in upscale stores and beautiful boutiques. Tampa is nestled in Hillsborough County alongside St. Petersburg and Clearwater, deemed the Tampa Bay Area, and is the third largest city in Florida. It is no surprise that the population is growing rapidly with the wide array of luxuries found in the area. If you are looking to head outdoors, visit the Tampa Bay Symphony, have an adventure at the Busch Gardens theme park, or even go snorkeling with the sharks at the Florida Aquarium. On the weekends, the family will be more than entertained by visiting Adventure Island, a twenty-three acre water park, watching a movie in style at the Fun-Lan Drive-In, or playing Frisbee at Hyde Park. Even your teen will be happy to visit the world-famous Skatepark of Tampa where professional skaters congregate, or to hop on the air conditioned TECO Line Streetcar System that makes stops throughout the local shopping districts. Venues like the Tampa Union Train Station and Tampa International Airport make it easy to save gas and traverse your local area. Looking to hit the college scene? The University of South Florida is surrounded by University Mall, nightclubs, bars, and hip entertainment venues like Soho and the Channel District. St. Pete Times Forum hosts the Super Bowl winning team the Tampa Buccaneers and the Tampa Bay Lightning, Stanley Cup victors. Many professional athletes retire in wealthy Tampa communities and few can turn down the abundance of cruise ships that anchor at the Port of Tampa. MacDill Air force Base holds annual air shows for thousands of spectators, and keeps the economy flowing by employing over 14,000 people. The downtown area is reminiscent of earlier days with the Friday Morning Musicale, a community center and theatre built in 1926, and the historic cigar factories once headed by Victor Martinez Ybor, whose factories now give Tampa the pet name of “Cigar City.” Other nicknames like “Lightning Capital of America,” and “Pirate City” hint at Tampa’s history of swashbuckling pirates and stormy weather filled with thunderstorms. The St. Petersburg Times, the nation’s 9th largest newspaper, and the weekly La Gaceta, the only trilingual newspaper in the country, make it easy to check out community current events and entertainment. Several International Film Festivals take place throughout the year, while the Museum of Science and Industry, Kids City Museum, and African Art Gallery, are just a few of the museums and galleries that exhibit pieces of Tampa’s history. With the city’s highlights surrounding you, and year-round welcoming weather, every day is vacation in Tampa, Florida. |

There is little that Tampa does not offer, and with year-round welcoming weather, there is no excuse for missing out on this city’s highlights. As the land of endless summer, it’s no surprise that surfing on man-made waves, relaxing on a lazy river and slipping down a waterslide, can beat the heat and be exciting at the same time. Florida is home to the most water parks in the U.S.. Walt Disney World, along with Universal Studios Escape, Sea World and a host of themed attractions offer thrills for all ages. The nightlife scene in Florida starts as early or as late as you’d like. Find a waterfront bar for Happy Hour and, if you’re on the Gulf coast, an amazing sunset. Or, for late-night partying, hit the nightclubs at hotspots across the state. Florida restaurants serve all your favorite cuisines, along with some newly invented varieties you’re going to love. See Florida from another view when you put on a mask and fins and swim in the many waters. Our mild climate and diverse habitats attract hundreds of bird species. Upscale clothing boutiques and home décor shops to factory outlet stores and colorful flea markets offer many different shopping experiences. Florida has so many places to go, things to do that nobody’s passion is denied.
