Centennial Park — Local services in Tampa

End of the Line! This turn-around destination connects you with Channelside 'downtown', and the drivers have always been willing to answer tourists' questions - or at least the 4 my wife & I peppered with questions did - and are friendly (they waved at us every time they went by from then as my wife & I continued our tour of Ybor). There are several "styles" of cars, but I prefer the old-school open-sided wooden trolleys. They DO have fully enclosed, more modern versions on the rails as well, so you can have your pick if you're willing to wait awhile. Plus it's a great way to meet other tourists from other countries, ridin' the rails. :D

The streetcar saved us from walking and allowed us to spend more time seeing more places than we otherwise would have. Their is a parking lot right across from Centennial Park where the streetcar starts. It was 5 bucks for 5 hours which I felt was pretty reasonable!! I’d say give it a try, I’m sure...

The east (northbound on schedules) end of the line in Ybor City along 8th Avenue between 19th and 20th streets. It’s right in front of the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Department headquarters and a 9/11 Memorial. Centennial Park is a block away, so is the Ybor City State Museum. The 7th Avenue strip is a block south and the Columbia Restaurant is just a few...
