Jacksonville is one of my favorite cities in Florida, because it is so cosmopolitan that it’s still the same relaxed feeling than the rest of Florida. Jacksonville, FL is the first major city in the Sunshine State, just 25 miles inside the border of Georgia. It is the county seat of Duval County and is in constant battle with Miami for the rank as the largest city in Florida, he was for Andrew Jackson, who was named as the first military governor of the territory of Florida.

Jacksonville is a hub for large banks, financial and transportation, which gives the advantage of the hip and the beautiful architecture of the city. The feeling of autumn in Florida is from St. John’s River, which runs almost through the center of the city, which is nice because you can see the boats, both private and commercial floating on a window, if you work in an office in some high-rise downtown. There is also the beautiful blue bridge across the river in downtown Jacksonville near popular shops, restaurants and night spot Jacksonville Landing. Jacksonville is also home to the NFL Jacksonville Jaguars football team if they have a good season, they are quite a draw. On game day, the downtown stadium has a lot tailgating party until the final whistle. Jacksonville is a major holiday destination with the help of Amelia near Iceland.

Magazine list of “best cities in 11th doing business” in 2006.

The city has a wide horizon, Wachovia and Sun Trust building are very much in it, the unique design of the building modes is very intuitive and adds to the horizon of architectural character. Jacksonville is nice to have parks here and there with palm trees everywhere. The Fountain of the Friendship Museum of Science and History is another example of the beauty of the city.

River St. John’s is an essential element of Jacksonville and expand trade. The Port of Jacksonville is an important seaport for cargo ships and cruise ships and the Mayport Ferry, a ferry that takes cars and people across the River. The railways are also a large part of the hub, they work their way through Jacksonville pick people and goods in custody throughout the country.

River St. John’s is also a haven for people of Jacksonville for a day, sailing, fishing and roaming up and down on her jet ski. You are not a pleasure boat or water on the amount of Huguenot Memorial Park, this sunny weekend, this place is packed. You can right on the beach, the waves here that many people. You will see cars and trucks all lined with their tailgates down, dog on the back, play music appropriate to put food spill coolers, balls and Frisbees flying through the air and from there was not enough, not the ocean. It is for a family to spend a day ideal.

Off the coast of Florida just miles north of the border with Georgia is fabulous Amelia Iceland. 15 minutes on I-95 and 20 minutes north of Jacksonville, this island 13 miles from beautiful beaches, including Fernandina Beach was in 2008, readers of Condé Nast Traveler’s voted it number 6 on the Top 10 islands of North America in their Reader’s Choice Awards.
