Jacksonville has a very vibrant and active downtown scene which rivals many larger cities, as well as some of the best rooftop bars and restaurants. While downtown, be sure to visit some of the best restaurants nestled along the St. Johns River and then take a walk along the river or catch a river taxi to sightsee. If you're a sports enthusiast, you'll love being able to catch the Jacksonville Jaguars at TIAA Bank Stadium located right beside the river also. Vystar Arena is across the street for more sports, concerts and entertainment. Beach lovers are sure to fall in love with some of the best rooftop restaurants and bars spread out among the Jacksonville Beaches, which are just a short 15 to 20-minute drive away. Shopping enthusiasts will find premium shopping at Town Center Shopping Mall featuring luxury retailers such as Louis Vuitton, Guess, and so much more, along with even more premium restaurants and rooftop bars. Jacksonville is a great combination of sun, fun and relaxation all wrapped up into one exciting destination!
Like much of Florida, Jacksonville has a subtropical climate, and it has both its hottest and wettest weather in the summer months. In July average highs reach the early 90s F (early 30s C), but there are also thunderstorms at this time of year. The most pleasant times to visit are in spring and fall, when temperatures are warm but not too hot, there is less rain.
Smyrna/Atlanta/Vinings is nestled right in the sweet spot of the metro Atlanta area. Smyrna sits right next door to Atlanta, yet it maintains a small-town feeling. Boasting top attractions such as Truist Park/The Battery for starters, Smyrna has something to offer for both young and old and all in between. Come and catch an exciting game of baseball with one of the hottest teams in the country and stay and eat and drink at some of the best bars and restaurants right at the Battery. Next for a little variety, you can't go wrong whether you head across the street to Cumberland Mall or Cobb Galleria Convention Center for even more choices of restaurants/bars and a great shopping experience. Travel slightly north and you'll find the Big Chicken, which was the focal point and guidepost for travelers before the main interstate was built to travel to and from Atlanta and all points north, east, south and west. Just a short 25-minute drive away are such attractions as the Mercedes Benz Stadium and the Aquarium and much, much more. And if the big city life is not what you're looking for, visit the Smyrna's Market Village in the heart of Smyrna, with even more restaurant and bar choices. There's so much more to explore, get out and enjoy!
