Hillsborough River core of Tampa with the Riverwalk, museums, Channelside and Water Street
Downtown Tampa is the city's central business district, set on the east bank of the Hillsborough River where the waterfront bends into the Garrison Channel.
Most visitors explore along the Riverwalk, which links Armature Works and Water Works Park with Curtis Hixon, Sparkman Wharf and the Florida Aquarium.
Downtown is bounded by the river on the west and I-275 on the north, and the TECO Line Streetcar and HART buses (hub at the Marion Transit Center) serve the core. The Riverwalk and its bridges connect most sights on foot or by bike.
