Few other tourist spots have as much to offer for sports, entertainment, shopping and relaxation as St. Pete.

The Tampa-St. Pete area is loaded with options if you are a sports fan, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the NFL, Tampa Bay Lightning of the NHL and Tampa Bay Rays of Major League Baseball. The area is also home to the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, which is generally held in late March or early April through the streets of downtown. You can also get your fill of water sports and fishing, or if you just want to lie on the beach and relax then you’ll have plenty of places to pick from. There are also numerous museums in St. Pete, including a children's museum, a history museum, holocaust museum, and the Salvador Dali Museum. You should also check out St. Petersburg Pier which features great shopping and dining along with a variety of boating tours. Just make sure you get a St. Petersburg rental car so that you’ll have the flexibility to go anywhere you want.

If you are looking to save some money on your trip, then make sure you compare the rates for rental cars in St. Pete and also in Tampa. You can sometimes find big differences even though the cities are very close together. But no matter where you rent your car, make sure you take it over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, which spans more than five miles and offers some incredible views of Tampa Bay and the St. Pete skyline.
