Nestled between bustling Orlando in the south and Jacksonville to the north. St. Augustine offers a timeless place to relive the past or celebrate the present. The Old City reminds one of an enchanting European village, with plenty of shops and antique stores on St. George Street and beyond.

When to Go

Walking amid cobblestone streets in the middle of a mild Florida winter in St. Augustine’s Old City is a site to behold. During the city’s annual Nights of Lights, thousands of bulbs illuminate the city. Although nighttime temperatures can dip in the 40s F, if you dress right, pleasures abound. Summertime is also lots of fun, with plenty of gentle breezes from local Atlantic waters to help you keep cool. Outdoor activities of all kinds, from beach picnics to hikes in the state parks, go perfectly with more mild spring and fall temperatures.
