We loved Tampa. You can touch a buzz in the noun as you jog on down the Tampa Riverwalk – helped by the awesome day we'd spent on the rides at the Busch Gardens amusement park. We found the city to be open-minded, tolerant and super diverse. Most importantly, it felt very gay friendly.

Tampa was one of our stopovers during our big road trip around Florida. The city offers so much for LGBTQ travellers, least of all the exciting Busch Gardens (Universal's unofficial younger sister!) and the GaYbor gay scene in Ybor City. We had a blast here and would certainly return for more!
