Tampa Travel FAQs

The best time to visit Tampa is between September and December, when the weather is cooler and less muggy. Additionally, these months typically feature lower hotel rates because they’re outside of the busiest tourist season. While it’s winter in northern states, September through December is still in the upper-70s to mid-80s in Tampa—the perfect moment to explore outdoor attractions. (Source)

Yes, a car rental is strongly recommended when visiting Tampa because top locations are spread out around the metro area. Plus, with a rental car, you won’t need to worry about strict public transportation schedules or costly rideshare expenses. A vehicle is the best way to explore Tampa’s must-see attractions, beaches, and fine dining experiences. And with Avis, you’ll get a great deal. (Source)

Tampa is famous for several unique, delicious dishes—including Cuban sandwiches, grouper sandwiches, deviled crab, and guava pastries. We recommend trying all of these local cuisines during your stay, even if you have sampled some of these delectables (such as a Cuban) elsewhere. Nowhere makes them quite like Tampa does! (Source)

Rain and thunderstorms are common year-round in Tampa, even though Florida brags about being the Sunshine State. Historically, Tampa’s rainiest month is August, which averages about 9 inches of rain. The second rainiest month in Tampa is July, which sees an average of 7 to 8 inches. Coming during those months? Bring an umbrella! (Source)

Tampa is home to various industries and big businesses, with the most prominent sectors being defense and security, information technology, financial firms, life sciences and healthcare, and manufacturing and distribution. Additionally, some of the largest corporations that call Tampa home include the MacDill Air Force Base, Jabil, and Bloomin’ Brands. (Source)
