Renting a car is the best way to explore the area's multiple communities, and a convertible only enhances the sun and sea-view worship. All major rental car companies are on site at Tampa International Airport.
Street party
Food and live music star at Get Downtown!, a free first-Friday-of-the-month fest between Second and Third streets along St. Pete's Central Avenue.
Ride easy
An unlimited ride fare card makes it easy to use Tampa's streetcars, trolleys, and buses. Buy a one-day card on the bus; a 3-day at HARTride sales outlets like the Marion Transit Center.
Free fun
Sidle over to the Friday night St. Pete Shuffle, where a thirtysomething crowd has reinvigorated shuffleboard, the game of seniors, at an historic 62-court downtown venue. Games are free; coolers are welcome.
