Visiting Tampa is always a thrill. Whether it’s your first time, or you’re returning for the tenth time, there are always plenty of things to do in Tampa; both right in the heart of the city and on the outskirts. It’s one of my favorite places to visit in the US.
Tampa is huge, packed with history, nature, culture, and fantastic gastronomy in abundance. There’s nothing more you could possibly need. Sightseeing in Tampa is a blast, but it pays to do your research beforehand and know the best spots to head to.
The first time I visited Tampa, I wasn’t really sure what to expect; after all, I went on a whim after a friend suggested I might like it. They were right, and I’ve revisited countless times since.
In this post, I’ll share my experiences in Tampa. By the end of this read, you’ll have a curated list of things to do, and you’ll be raring to get started.
