Around most of the country, people are still bundling up for winter weather and frigid temperatures. But not in Tampa. With Tampa’s year-round warm weather and growing number of attractions, it is a fun and relaxing destination for your next vacation. When you visit, let ESCOT’s shuttle services conveniently take you and your fellow travelers to all your vacation destinations in comfort and ease.
Ybor City, a city within a city in Tampa, is a unique cultural experience. This Cuban neighborhood evokes nostalgia of the late 1800s, with its wrought iron balconies hanging casually over mom-and-pop storefronts. Ybor City is where you visit if you want to take yourself back in time, or to experience the food and drink of nearby Cuba, like cafe con leche or a Cuban sandwich. Once the Cigar Capital of the World, Ybor City still hosts cigar shops for passersby to wander into, whose products are made by hand in the Cuban tradition.
The Channelside District is another downtown Tampa attraction worth checking out. This neighborhood boasts a lively restaurant and bar scene, and a large entertainment complex at the Channelside Bay Plaza, which also has an outdoor arena for concerts and other events. This is also where you can find the Florida Aquarium, which offers attractions for every age. There’s a splash pad for the youngest children, opportunities to swim with dolphins and sharks, and virtual tours of marine life ecosystems. Or, you could catch a hockey game at the nearby Amalie Arena, where the Tampa Bay Lightning play. To easily travel between destinations in downtown Tampa, the best way is to jump on board an ESCOT shuttle, and leave the traffic and route questions up to your driver.
For sightseers, you might consider taking an ESCOT shuttle over to Hyde Park, which is an area known for its historic homes and bungalows, and has a developing shopping scene. To continue your shopping trip, take a ride over to International Plaza, which has over 200 specialty shops and an open-air restaurant and dining area.
