Jazz music, voodoo and Cajun food epitomize New Orleans, but a flight to Tampa takes you to a tropical retreat in Florida. Beachfront resorts along the Gulf of Mexico, wild brown pelicans in Fort De Soto Park and the Cuban-influenced Ybor City are highlights of the Tampa Bay area. Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) is located just off I-10, and getting there is easy. When you fly from New Orleans LA to Tampa, expect a flight of about 90 minutes.
Animal lovers will be thrilled by the safari excursions at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. The Florida Aquarium in Downtown Tampa is the best place to see marine life including seahorses and barracudas. The aquarium is conveniently located near the city's other top attractions such as the Amalie Arena and Tampa Museum of Art. When you're ready for a saltwater swim, go to Clearwater Beach or Treasure Island.
Sunglasses and swimsuits are essential items to pack before you fly from New Orleans to Tampa, where temperatures rise above 60 degrees daily. After arriving at Tampa International Airport (TPA), use the people mover to get to the car rental center. Throughout the year, the Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park in Downtown Tampa hosts outdoor concerts along the Hillsborough River.
