Shopping
If shopping is your main attraction, you won't be disappointed! From high fashion to big bargains, you're sure to find it in the Tampa Bay area.
Get a taste of class at
International Plaza near Tampa International Airport. This newcomer to Tampa has more than 200 stores, featuring names such as Tiffany & Co., Neiman Marcus, Hugo Boss, BCBG and Furla. Stroll along Bay Street, located behind the Plaza, to discover restaurants and boutiques open a little later!
And if that's not enough, take a short drive on to The Pier in downtown St. Petersburg and the nearby
Bay Walk where you can find great shopping, fine dining and nightly entertainment. For true bargain hunters, plan a short trip to
Ellenton's Prime Outlets for the area's best brand name discounts!
Looking for a little charm? Be sure to visit South Tampa's
Old Hyde Park Village. Stay a little later for a movie at the newly renovated theater or hear live jazz by the center fountain. A little farther away is the quaint
St. Armand's Circle, home of eclectic shops, galleries, exotic boutiques, sophisticated restaurants and nightlife.
There are also a number of great shopping malls to visit, from
Countryside Mall, just minutes from the resort, to
Westshore Plaza and
Citrus Park Town Center in Tampa. And, of course the many novelties of the beach shops or the uniqueness of the specialty villages nearby offer a spectrum of shopping to meet every taste.
