15 Best Things To Do in Jacksonville, Florida

Picture of Jacksonville, Florida

About Jacksonville, Florida


A connecting point for North and South, Jacksonville is known for its cuisine and historical heritage. Being a river city, Jacksonville is set around the St. Johns River that goes through the town.

Did you know Jacksonville was Hollywood? It’s where the motion pictures came to life, and production houses thrived. Today, you can get a hint of the same showbiz vibe from the Ritz Theatre & Museum and the Florida Theatre, where regular performances take place.

Fun fact: Elvis Presley had his first performance in this theatre.

Offering a breath of fresh air from the city life is the Atlantic Beach, where you can catch a fish and bring it back to a local restaurant and eat your own catch - it’s any fishing enthusiast’s dream.
