Before you go
- The free TECO Line Streetcar links downtown, the Channel District and Ybor City, so you can skip parking between them. See our getting around page for parking and rides.
- Game days and big concerts at Raymond James Stadium and Benchmark International Arena fill hotels and slow traffic. Check the event calendar when you book.
- Ybor City is busiest late on Friday and Saturday nights. Go earlier in the evening if you want a quieter dinner on 7th Avenue.
