Historic Ybor City is Tampa's most distinctive neighborhood — a National Historic Landmark District known for its rich Cuban, Spanish, and Italian heritage, hand-rolled cigar history, and vibrant nightlife. Founded in the 1880s by cigar manufacturer Vicente Martinez-Ybor, the district grew into one of the largest cigar-producing centers in the world. Today, the area blends restored brick buildings, cultural landmarks like the Columbia Restaurant (Florida's oldest), museums, boutiques, bars, and live music venues. The TECO Line Streetcar connects Ybor City to downtown Tampa, and the district draws thousands of visitors every weekend.
