Just down the street is the Ybor Museum State Park, which covers approximately one-half of a city block and includes an ornamental garden, a gift shop and restored cigar workers’ houses.

In the heart of Ybor City, you can’t miss Centro Ybor – the appropriately named shopping, dining and entertainment centerpiece. Give yourself enough time, because there are theaters, dozens of restaurants, shops, and fun, fun, fun! Tampa Bay Brewing Co is the only Brew Pub in Ybor City. They offer great food & a wide variety of handcrafted beers.

Browse the eclectic shops along 7th Ave. Take the time to watch a “hand-rolled cigar” being made. Ybor is known as the “Cigar Capital of the World” and for purveyors such as Tampa Sweethearts Cigars where every cigar is manufactured by Tabacalera A. Fuente, a name well recognized all over the world by cigar aficionados for its fine quality and prestigious reputation. Also check out Tampero Cigars.
