Map of Tampa  

Tourism  
Tampa's crown jewel is Ybor City, the historic Cuban neighborhood. It's fun to amble down its shady brick-paved streets, following your nose to bakeries to buy fragrant loaves of Cuban bread or to shops where tabaqueros hand roll fine cigars. The sounds of lively Spanish conversation might lead you to an old-fashioned domino parlor where grandfathers with gnarled hands gather to play in friendly neighborhood matches. Antique shops, boutiques and art galleries beckon. After dark, the nightclubs throw open their doors and Ybor City metamorphoses into the Tampa hot spot. Stylish young party animals come out to prowl the area's many hip bars.
