From the Castillo de San Marco, to the Fountain of Youth there is something for everyone.

What To Expect

Old St. Augustine Village

The Historic District in St. Augustine is the heart of the city. This is where guests will find a majority of the city's restaurants, shopping, hotels, and attractions. The Historic District is the oldest part of the city with many buildings dating back to the 1700s. Even the streets are laid out as they would have been centuries ago, and are more walkable than a lot of cities visitors are used to seeing in America. Along with being a beautiful area for finding things to do like shopping, visiting museums, and dining, the Historic District is also home to the beautiful bayfront with lovely panoramic views of the Matanzasa Bay. The top rated attractions in the area are centered around the Historic District and reflect the importance of history in shaping St. Augustine into what it is today. For example, the Colonial Quarter is a living history museum with costumed reenactors and interactive experienes. The Castillo and the Fountain of Youth both have weapons demonstrations so guests can expect to hear the sound of canon and musket fire around the Historic District. Another defining feature of the Historic District is the architecture. The design on building facades represents the height of Spanish Colonial and Spanish Renaissance Revival architecture. The area of town showcases everything from early European design, Florida bungalow style houses, and Gilded Age extravegance. Being the nation's oldest city, the Historic District of St. Augustine represents all that history has built here since 1565.

The old town trolley tour guides were very knowledgeable and the Spanish military hospital was fascinating

Saint Augustine is such a charming old town in Florida. I highly recommend a visit. Much history in this town from the cobble-stoned main street (St George) to the bridge of Lions, the famous fort (Castillo de San Marcos) and its coquina wall, Ponce De Leon's historical presence, and Flagler's gigantic impact and legacy left through the spectacular buildings. Lots to see and do. You will not be disappointed.

The entire trip was wonderful, and St. Augustine is a beautiful place to visit. Our driver, "Tom Cruise/Cruze" was outstanding--always on time and went above and beyond his duty to take care of us (2 of us being old bitties??)--one of us being 79, one 80, and one 62. We are still talking about how he went out of his way to be kind. The world needs more people like him--plus he was very well briefed and an excellent driver. Thanks so much.
