Tampa reflects the mosaic of different cultures and influences that made it the dynamic urban center it is today. The coexistence
of the quaint historic villages with sleek skyscrapers is evidence of this rapidly growing city's success at reconciling
its rich history with modern-day development. The kaleidoscope of activity ranges from its bustling port brimming with shrimp
boats, banana barges and cruise ships, to its festive marketplaces, and its multi-ethnic restaurants and shops. Be sure to
stop by historic Ybor City, where 100 years of decayed elegance has been restored to antique splendor. Vicente Martinez Ybor
and Cuban immigrants established this "city within a city" in the 1800s, building it on the cigar industry. Stroll
the quaint streets and breathe in the aroma of freshly baked Cuban bread drifting out of the local bakeries and restaurants.
Visit Ybor Square where Cuban cigar makers demonstrate their ancestors' craft. At night, La Séptima (Seventh Avenue),
the main stretch, is shut off for pedestrians as revelers fill the streets of Ybor, club hopping at the many trendy nightspots.
Eclectic art galleries, mom-and-pop stores, wrought iron balconies and brick sidewalks enhance this delightful glimpse at
Tampa's Cuban culture. Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is listed among the nation's top four zoos. Besides exotic animals,
