Introduction
Tampa is situated on the north shore of Tampa Bay on the west coast of Florida in the United States. The metropolitan area it is a part of is usually referred to as the "Tampa Bay Area". The largest city in the greater West Central Florida region, it is also the county seat of Hillsborough county. A 2008 estimate[1] puts the city's population at 340 882. To the west of the bay lies Saint Petersburg, a popular tourist destination, while Bradenton is on the southern shore.
Sights and Activities
Busch Gardens
Based on African themes, the park is full of animals, live shows and thrilling rides. The park claims to have some of the tallest, longest and fastest roller-coasters in America: Kumba, SheiKra, Gwazi and the inverted Montu. And for those looking for a more relaxed type of entertainment, the safari will take them across the wild life of Africa, with more than 2,500 animals to see.

Getting Around
By Car
By Public Transport
Public transportation isn't very reliable. There is a trolley that travels between Ybor, Channelside, and Downtown.
By Foot
Unfortunately, Tampa is not very pedestrian friendly. Ybor, Downtown, and SoHo are the only areas you can really get around in by foot. Plan to rent a car, if you're flying in.
