St Augustine
Compact and easy to explore on foot
Part of the fun is escaping off the busy main streets and wandering down shady side turnings, peering into courtyards and discovering quiet corners where cats bask in the sunshine and ancient live oaks trail curtains of grey-green Spanish moss.
Horsedrawn carriage tours are a popular way to get around and depart from Avenida Menendez, north of the Bridge of Lions. Miniature tourist trains follow a more extensive route around the main sights while their drivers narrate an anecdotal history of St Augustine.
Pedestrian St George Street is the focus of the historic district, with a collection of shops and some of St Augustine's main atttractions, including the excellent Spanish Quarters Museum. Set back two blocks from the waterfront, the street leads from the old City gate to the town square, the Plaza de la Constitution. Attractive cobblestone Aviles Street,which runs south from this square, also has several interesting colonial buildings.
Take time to visit The Oldest Wooden Schoolhouse, the Spanish Quarters Village, the Lightner Museum and Zorayda Castle to name but a few.
