Tampa is a buzzy, cosmopolitan waterside city where you’ll feel both relaxed and exhilarated. Close to some of the world’s biggest theme parks, as well as Florida’s most beautiful beaches, Tampa makes a great base to explore all that the Sunshine State has to offer.

The city itself is a social hub where you’re never far from lively bars, restaurants, shops and some amazing attractions. Try an adventurous safari on camelback at the extraordinary Giraffe Ranch, or get within metres of sleeping lions at Big Cat Rescue. If you've got business on your mind, Tampa’s 600,000 sq ft Convention Center offers excellent facilities for meetings, exhibitions and banquets that bring thousands of people together from all over the world.

If you’re after some chill time, a short drive will take you to the glorious beaches of Clearwater and St Petersburg. If it’s thrills you seek, in just over an hour you'll find yourself in theme park capital of the world,  Orlando.

Whether you’re a balmy beach bum or a chic city slicker, Tampa will keep you entertained.

Thrilling theme parks
