Things to do in Tampa

MacDill Air Force Base, home to U.S. Central Command and U.S. Special Operations Command, anchors a large defense and contractor community. The Riverwalk, Water Street and the Channel District give downtown a walkable waterfront, while Ybor City keeps its cigar-factory history alive with Cuban sandwiches, historic social clubs and late-night music.
