Cheapest flights to Jacksonville

Situated in the great double loop of the St Johns River and with long established lumber and coffee industries, Jacksonville, the largest city in the US 841 square miles is suspicious of anything that might upset its hard-working tradition. Pleasure seekers are expected to stick to the beaches. Even the film industry, which came here seeking a base in the 1910s, was scared off by the zeal of the locals and settled in California instead. The growing size of the white-collar sector has eased the years of heavy industry, and efforts have been made to enhance Jacksonville's appeal by creating parks and riverside boardwalks.

To get an overview of downtown Jacksonville, FL take the Skyway monorail (daily 6.30am7.30pm; 35) from the Convention Center to Hemming Park, a ten-minute journey at eye level with the high-rise offices. One noteworthy building on the north bank of the St John's River is the Florida Theater, 128 Forsyth St. Elvis Presley arrived in 1957 for his first appearance on an indoor stage, an event noted by Life magazine because a juvenile court judge sat through the whole performance to ensure it wasn't too suggestive. Crossing over to the south bank try taking the River taxi ($2 one-way; $3 round-trip) you'll find the Museum of Science and History, 1025 Museum Circle (Mon-Fri 10am-5pm, Sat 10am-6pm, Sun 1-6pm; $6), with its hands-on exhibits and planetarium. Or for a break from the commerce and industry of the city, visit the Jacksonville Museum of Modern Art, 333 N Laura St (Tues-Fri 11am-2pm; $5), which has a permanent collection of modern art and hosts traveling exhibitions
