The 10 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in St. Augustine, Florida (FL)
Saint Augustine is a luxurious, romantic vacation spot—you’ll find classic hotels and intimate restaurants. Those can be a dime a dozen, though. What sets Saint Augustine apart is its history—it’s the oldest European settlement in the U.S. And nowhere else in the world can you taste the waters of the Fountain of Youth Archeological Park (where Ponce de Leon may have landed). Who knows, if you vacation here, maybe you won’t need that Botox!

St. George Street is the absolute heart of the city. I love walking down here at any time of the day. One can just feel the history all around them. It's also packed full of unique shops, great dining, pubs, museums, cool sites and talented street musicians at every turn. It feels like you are in some seaside village in Spain. It's just a timeless place and I cant ever get enough of it. Definitely come here while visiting St. Augustine. I would suggest early evening as it's not so hot especially during the summer months. It's best to park at the Visitor Center Parking Garage and start from the City Gates.

We didn't know what to expect going in. The guide gave some good quick America, Florida, and St. Augustine history. He showed us real life blacksmithing and shot off a cannon sans ball. Take a slow-mo video of it. Pretty cool.

Due to the pandemic, some of the attractions were closed but they still have a number of reenactments that you would enjoy - firing a cannon, firing an musket rifle, a blacksmith's shop. We also enjoyed their planetarium and Discovery Globe. They also have a bunch of peacocks that roam around like they own the place - fun to watch.
