St. Augustine Walking Tour
St. Augustine, United States
Why Walk St. Augustine
St. Augustine was founded by Spanish explorers in 1565, making it the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in the United States. The Castillo de San Marcos, a 17th-century coquina fortress, guards the harbor. The colonial quarter mixes Spanish, British, and American architecture, while Henry Flagler's Gilded Age hotels — now a college and a museum — add a layer of opulence.
