Overview
Northern Florida's largest city, Jacksonville (or "Jax") is a beach resort, family vacation destination, sporting centre, and a cultural hub all rolled into one. If you want to get away to the sunshine and have museums, galleries, and shopping opportunities on your doorstep, it's a great place to visit.
There are a buzzing craft ale and bohemian boutiques scene in 5 Points, gourmet eateries in genteel San Marco, and the chance to lose yourself in the gorgeous gardens of the Cummer Museum. With the vast stretches of white sands of Jacksonville Beach and Ponte Vedra minutes drive away, Jacksonville is quickly becoming one of most attractive urban destinations of America.
Climate
Jacksonville experiences favourable sunshine throughout the year with temperatures that rarely dip below 70 degrees F. However, if you are looking to attend music festivals or the Seafood Festival, spring vacation is the best option.

It might be a large city, but without any hassle, you can escape the high-rises and chaos of the city centre and unwind on the beaches which are as appealing as any in Northern Florida. Hop on the exciting Beaches Trolley to visit the fishing village of Mayport, Neptune Beach and Jacksonville Beach and return to your room by the evening.

Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) is about 15 minutes from downtown Jacksonville offering quick non-stop flights to many main cities of the U.S., including several international gateways.

Public buses connect riders with destinations throughout the city, but there are typically long waits between buses. The Skyway monorail shuttles riders throughout downtown Jacksonville, but for travellers venturing beyond downtown, renting a car is the most convenient option for getting around Jacksonville.
