San Marco Lion Statue, Jacksonville, Guía del visitante y qué hacer cerca

The San Marco Lion Statue stands at 1999 San Marco Blvd in the San Marco neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida. It is a local landmark and a natural meeting point, and a good starting place for exploring the streets and shops around it on foot.

Tips for your visit

• Plan on a short stop of ten to fifteen minutes just to see the statue and take photos, and longer if you want to wander the surrounding streets.
• Go in daylight for the best photos. In Jacksonville's warmer months, morning or late afternoon is more comfortable for walking.
• The statue is part of the street scene, so there is nothing to book. Check current opening hours for any nearby shops or cafes you want to visit.
• Wear comfortable shoes and bring water, since the best way to take in the neighborhood is slowly and on foot.
