What To Expect

Government House Museum

Government House dominates the west end of the Town Plaza, a unique Spanish land use component lying within a National Historic Landmark District. Along coasts, plazas were to begin at the waterfront - to see and to be seen. Since 1598, a government building has stood on this site with a view of the harbor landing, accommodating administrative headquarters and residences of colonial governors appointed by the Crowns of Spain, then Britain, then Spain again. After Spain ceded Florida to the United States in 1821, this current Government House served as a courthouse and briefly as a Capitol of the new Territory of Florida.

Plaza de la Constitucion

Historic park in the center of downtown St. Augustine. The original city plan was built out from this location. It is bordered by The Government House, the Cathedral Basilica, and the Bridge of Lions and Matanzas Bay. Spain's 1573 Law of the Indies, Leyes de los Indies, specified that colonial town plans set aside such a plaza for government, church and public use. Along coasts, plazas were to begin at the waterfront - to see and to be seen.

St. George Street

Visit some of our favorite vendors and discover the history of St. Augustine's most famous street.

Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine

The Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine is a historic cathedral in St. Augustine, Florida, and the seat of the Catholic Bishop of St. Augustine. Constructed over five years (1793–1797), it was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark on April 15, 1970. Its congregation, established in 1565, is the oldest Christian congregation in the contiguous United States.

St. Photios Greek Orthodox National Shrine

Just steps from St. Augustine’s historic city gates at St. George Street, the St. Photios Greek Orthodox National Shrine, an institution of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, is dedicated to the first colony of Greek people who came to America in 1768.

This walking tour of Old Town sweet shops is a wonderful way to experience the charm of St. Augustine. From the moment our guide, Charlie greeted us at The Coffeeosity Shop to our farewells at the Plaza de Constitucion, we walked our way through history sampling some of the very best sweets made right here in St. Augustine. In addition to the interesting history commentaries Charlie presented along the route, we took home a delicious treat from each of the sweet shops we visited. Thank you, Charlie, for a fantastic tour! I highly recommend you join her for an unforgettable walking tour of St. Augustine.
