Known for its mix of historic Cuban culture in Ybor City and modern waterfront development, the city combines year-round outdoor recreation and a growing urban scene with diverse restaurants, craft breweries, and cultural attractions. The I-75 and I-4 connect it to other major Florida destinations.
