A popular tourist area valued for its mild weather and proximity to the Gulf, Tampa is known as a great “outdoor” city. Home to a vibrant music and nightlife scene, as well as several major sports teams (including the Tampa Bay Rays and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers), there is plenty to do in this area.
