St. Augustine, Florida
Charming, Mysterious an Exciting City
St. Augustine, Florida rests on the Atlantic coast and was actually the first coastal city
to be established in what is now the United States.
In fact, it was the first settlement started by Europeans in the newly "discovered" land, a few decades
before the English established a colony in Jamestown. Today, the elements of natural Florida wildlife,
history, Spanish décor and architecture make St. Augustine a very attractive and unique place to visit.

Our favorite time is from mid November to the end of
January during the "Nights of Lights" celebration.
At that time, the whole city is glowing with more than
two million lights which create a warm and festive
atmosphere.
Most of the attractions in St. Augustine can be seen
either by walking around or by taking advantage of one
of the many sightseeing tour services.
When you walk around this old city, you will find that
many historical buildings and monuments still stand
in all of their glory.
One of the first landmarks you will see is the
Castillo de San Marcos, located in the historic
downtown, right next to the city center.
The fortress guarded over St. Augustine for more than
300 years. Today it is one of the oldest standing
structures in North America.
The Bridge of Lions will lead you to State Road A1A
which will take you along St. Augustine's barrier island.
