Whether you’re in town for a few days or a lifelong resident, there are certain views in Jacksonville that should be a part of anyone’s bucket list.
The city is blessed with beautiful natural preserves, a tropical climate, and the presence of the St. Johns River.
We’ve highlighted a handful of sightseeing opportunities that are, in our humble opinion, an essential part of the Jacksonville experience. Better yet, a few of those options are public spaces – meaning you can soak in the sights free of charge.
There’s a reason Memorial Park is one of the city’s most popular public spaces. The park offers scenic views of the river as well as large, open green space, all within a park designed by the same minds behind Central Park in New York City. Its iconic Life sculpture is one of the most popular Instagram photo subjects in the city.
