If you're in town on a Sunday in the fall you might be able to catch the Jaguars football team in action-the city is very proud of its new franchise. The Cummer Museum of Art, in the Riverside neighborhood near downtown, has a good collection of American artists and a fascinating garden with a view of downtown.

Architecture buffs will find the Riverside district fascinating. Many homes here were designed by noted Jacksonville architect Henry Klutho, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie Style. On both sides of the St. Johns river, in downtown Jacksonville there are riverwalks that provide great views of downtown as well as access to the Jacksonville Landing, an open-air mall that is often the site of concerts, political rally's or other events, and other attactions along the way.

The riverwalks are great places for romantic walks in the evening. The Museum of Science and History has a series of rotating hands-on exhibits, generally geared toward children, and also is home to the Alexander Brest Planetarium, with hourly shows. Across the river you can dine and shop at The Landing, a Jack Rouse project modelled after the larger (and more successful) Inner Harbor in Baltimore.
