Tampa Is One The ‘World’s Greatest Places of 2023’
Tampa is one of the world’s greatest places of 2023. This annual list is done by TIME Magazine. This list highlights the top travel destinations all over the world.
They describe Tampa as “Waterfront Fun” and that is a true statement. Some of the other cities that join Tampa on the list are: Barcelona, Vancouver, Brisbane, Australia and Naples, Italy. Pretty good company to be in, but Tampa is best out of all of them.
Additionally, here is what TIME said about Tampa, “Florida’s city du jour is eager to earn permanent status on travelers’ lists of sunny, accessible escapes worthy of a weekend stay, as a cutting-edge, multi-billion-dollar landmark development project redefines its downtown.”
Finally, we know that we live in paradise, but I am glad that Tampa is named as one of the world’s greatest places.

This Florida City Has Been Named One Of The Best Cities In The South
A Florida city has been named as one of the best cities in the South by Southern Living. We know that the state of Florida have some great cities, but only one is on the list. The list is voted on by the publication’s readers.
There are ten states on the list with four states that have three cities on their list. Texas, Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia are the states with the most cities. Many of these southern cities you have most likely visited and would probably visit again. I am surprised that more Florida cities aren’t on the list. Driving through Florida there are beautiful cities to visit, but this list didn’t name them. Maybe the publication’s readers will visit more cities in Florida and put them on next year’s list.
The Only Florida City On The List
Orlando is the only city in Florida to make the list. Orlando is home to the world for its amusement and theme parks. It is home to Gatorland, SeaWorld, Disney, Universal and many more attractions. Plus all of the many place to visit along International Drive and throughout the Orlando Area. It is also home to the Kia Center (formally Amway Center), home of the Orlando Magic. In actuality, there’s more to enjoy beyond the park walls than ever before. There are dozens of new restaurants in the area that get strong recognition, with the 2023 James Beard Foundation Awards nominating several Orlando chefs for top prizes.
When looking at this list I can totally understand the top cities. Southern Living says, “The South’s many metros are destinations that do it all. They’re hubs of art, culture, and cuisine, not to mention athletics and yes, even outdoor adventure.”
Even though one Florida cities made the list of best cities in the South we know Florida has the best cities. Check out the list below.
