The largest city in the state of Florida, Jacksonville is a cosmopolitan city lined with cafes, restaurants and entertainment venues. Perfectly situated along the banks of the St. Johns River, you’ll spend your days playing on the beach, boating and sport fishing. Catch a baseball game or plan a picnic in one of the city's 337 parks or take a step back in time with a visit to the Florida Theatre, one of only four remaining high-style movie palaces of its kind.

Although Jacksonville's climate is considered subtropical, the city is much cooler than those located at Florida's southern peninsula. Winters are mild with temperatures hovering around 40 degrees, while summers can reach the mid-90s and get their fair share of rainfall with nights cooling down to the 70s.
