If you’re planning a romantic getaway, there’s nothing like a good city break to give you and your partner the opportunity to explore a bright new world of possibilities together. Florida is one of the best states for this, but you won’t just find your romantic getaway in the Keys. Jacksonville, also known as Jax, is the most populous and culturally thriving cities in the state and has a ton of romantic attractions to enjoy.
Catch a Show
A night at the theater can be the perfect catalyst for conversation and romance. It’s good news for you that Jax is one of the best places to catch a show, as well. It’s home to the famous Alhambra Theater and Dining, one of the best places to spend a night out in the whole city, but there are plenty of other theaters with both locally produced and broadway shows to catch.

A great, romantic time out isn’t just about great dining, places to see new sights, or great hotels. It’s also about doing stuff together and creating new experiences. There is no shortage of unique things in Jacksonville to do, whether it’s going to the Edge Rock Gym together to try out some climbing, enjoying a drink on the Jax Ale Trail, or hitting up the Autobahn Indoor Speedway for some go-karting fun. If it’s thrills you desire, then you will find them.
Sail On Down The River
St. John’s River winds through the entire city and, aside from offering a gorgeous place for an evening stroll, it can also make for a very romantic trip. Try one of the city’s water taxis to relax and take in the sights together. You can even head out into the open waters to enjoy watching the dolphins as they will often swim alongside and even jump along with the boats.
The next time you’re thinking of a place to hit up for a romantic getaway, especially in the summer, think about the River City. Its full of opportunities for romance, you just have to grab them.
