Aerial view of a Florida waterfront neighborhood

Life in Tampa, FL

Tampa is known for its cigar-making past in Ybor City, the 2.6-mile Tampa Riverwalk along the Hillsborough River, and the Gasparilla pirate festivals each winter. It is also home to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, The Florida Aquarium and ZooTampa at Lowry Park.

Don Vicente Martinez Ybor opened the first cigar factory in Ybor City in 1886, and the area grew into the Cigar Capital of the World until the 1930s. Henry B. Plant's Tampa Bay Hotel operated as a winter resort from 1891 to 1932 and is now Plant Hall at the University of Tampa. The Columbia Restaurant opened in Ybor City in 1905 and La Segunda Bakery began baking Cuban bread there in 1915. Tampa mixes historic bungalow neighborhoods like Seminole Heights and Tampa Heights with high-rise living in downtown and the Channel District. Daily life centers on the waterfront, from walks on the Riverwalk to food halls, breweries and Cuban bakeries.
