Top 10 Things to Do in Jacksonville

1. St. Johns River and Downtown Riverwalk

Use the riverfront as the geographic spine for downtown, bridges, skyline views, museums, and boat traffic.

2. Riverside and Avondale

Explore historic streets, parks, restaurants, architecture, and local shopping in two of the city's most walkable neighborhood districts.

3. Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens

Pair the museum's collection with riverfront gardens for one of Jacksonville's strongest cultural stops.

4. Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve

Visit this National Park Service unit for marshes, waterways, historic sites, and a broader understanding of northeast Florida's coastal landscape.

5. Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park

Use this city park for Atlantic beach, trails, biking, lake recreation, and a more nature-focused day.

6. Jacksonville Beach — separate city

Head east for the oceanfront, but identify Jacksonville Beach as a separate incorporated municipality rather than a Jacksonville neighborhood.
