Tampa Gay and Lesbian Travel Tips

By Matt Link

Watch for high and low seasons. Unlike Miami and Fort Lauderdale, which are becoming more year-round destinations, winter and spring are high season in the Tampa area, with a lot more tourist traffic than other times of the year.
Flying into Tampa may be easier than St. Petersburg. St. Pete's airport only serves seven minor airlines, while Tampa's airport serves 19 major airlines.
Rent a car. It will be a lot easier for you to explore the neighboring cities as well as the area's beaches.

Gay and Lesbian Travel Overview: Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida

By Matt Link

Less pretentious than Miami, Tampa and nearby St. Petersburg are popular with queer tourists and residents alike. Along with family-oriented attractions like the Florida Aquarium, Busch Gardens and Adventure Island (Busch Gardens' water-park cousin), the area is home to the Tampa Museum of Art, the Florida International Museum, and the Florida Holocaust Museum. And St. Pete's Salvador Dalí Museum has the largest collection of the surrealist's paintings outside of Spain. Read More
