Sightseeing
Tampa Riverwalk is a 2.6-mile-long open space and pedestrian trail development along the Hillsborough River in Tampa, Florida. The downtown Tampa portion runs alongside the Tampa Arts District and allows access to Curtis Hixon Park, MacDill Park, Tampa Museum of Art, Glazer Children's Museum, Rivergate Tower, and adjacent atrium containing the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts.

601 NORTH NEBRASKA AVENUE
Technically, this is not a museum. It's actually an active train station -- a stop on the Silver Meteor daily Amtrak service between New York and Miami. The Beaux Arts-style station was built in 1912, a watershed year for some of downtown's most prominent historic buildings. Inside, the building is a monument to the days when trains dominated long-distance travel. Every May, the station goes all out for National Train Day, hosting model railroaders and fans of all things railroad for a day of collective train geekery. A donation will support the maintenance of this member of the National Register of Historic Places.
