Malls and Outlets in Tampa

[npafc]

Looking for some recommendations regarding Malls and Outlets near, or on route to Tampa airport.

We’re flying out of there for the first time next month and are looking at doing some last minute shopping before we get to the airport.

I’ve seen on Google maps that there are a few close by but obviously have no idea what they’re like. We normally shop at Florida Mall and LBV outlets so are looking for something similar if possible.

Thanks in advance.

We went to the International Plaza Mall on Sunday on the way to the airport, very close. I would say similar to the Florida Mall

Tampa premium outlet was good, and quiet, last year.

We went to Tampa Premium Outlets today, it is very nice, same deals as the other outlets but soo much quieter, its owned by Simon same as the others.

International Plaza Mall - it's 5 mins from the airport with all the usual suspects shopping wise & there's a Cheesecake Factory. Great place to pass the last few hours of your holidays.

Tampa Outlets - we always make a trip there as it's got most of the brands we like (plus there's still a Greg Norman store) and it's always quiet - no queue's, clothes are easy to find and not in bundles on the floor like you get on a busy day at Vineland!

The International Plaza Mall is right next to the airport and you can use the airport perimeter road to get there. Have a look at google maps.

As said, International Plaza is next door to TPA.
Their shops are a mix between Florida Mall (mainstream chains) & Mall of Millenia (high-end,eg, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Tiffany, Burberry, Mayors etc)

There is another Mall called the Westshore Plaza which is right beside the 275. Only been in it once a good few years ago and thought it was about the standard of the Florida Mall i.e. macys etc.

Not so good the last few years as quite a few stores pulled out & moved to the newer International Plaza.

Must admit I wasn’t particularly impressed with it when we visited it as we had been to the International Plaza a few times and felt the International was more upmarket.
