Tampa at a Glance
Known asHistoric Ybor City, the Riverwalk, Busch Gardens and a free heritage streetcar — a real working Gulf-coast city with Cuban roots
Founded1855
CurrencyUS Dollar (USD)
Local pride: Ybor City was once the "Cigar Capital of the World," rolling hundreds of millions of hand-made cigars a year, and it's where the Cuban sandwich was born — Tampa's version adds Genoa salami, a nod to the neighborhood's Italian immigrants. Free-roaming chickens, descendants of the cigar workers' birds, are protected residents of Ybor to this day.
