Week-Long Stay - Day 5

Travel back in time today with a look at some of the area's famous historical sights. Across the Bay near downtown Tampa is the Henry Plant Museum located on the campus of the University of Tampa in what was once the elegant Tampa Bay Hotel. It's oriental architecture and minarets are a true area landmark.

You may want to lunch in one of the noted south Tampa bistros. Continue east past downtown and you'll come to Ybor City - a National Historic Landmark District that was once the "Cigar Capital of the World." You can easily spend the day here, visiting the historic cottages and museums. Stroll down La Setima (7th Avenue) in the heart of Ybor City, with galleries, and unique retail shops.

You'll find lots of choices for dinner, with more than two dozen dining and dancing establishments. And in the evening, Centro Ybor is the hottest spot around!
