Saint Augustine Day Trip from Orlando

Old St. Augustine Village

• St. Augustine’s Historic District is the city’s beating heart. The majority of the city’s restaurants, shopping, hotels, and attractions are located here.
• The Historic District is the city’s oldest neighborhood, with several structures going back to the 1700s. Even the streets are built out as they would have been centuries ago and are more walkable than many of the American cities that visitors are accustomed to seeing. The Historic District is home to the picturesque bayfront with lovely panoramic views of the Matanzas Bay, in addition to being a beautiful area for finding things to do like shopping, visiting museums, and dining.
• The Old District is home to the area’s top-rated attractions, which represent the importance of history in creating St. Augustine into what it is today. The Colonial Quarter, for example, is a living history museum with costumed reenactors and hands-on activities. Weapons displays are held at both the Castillo and the Fountain of Youth, so visitors may expect to hear cannon and musket fire throughout the Historic District.
• The architecture is another distinguishing characteristic of the Historic District. The facade design reflects the pinnacle of Spanish Colonial and Spanish Renaissance Revival architecture.
• Early European design, Florida bungalow-type houses, and Gilded Age extravagance may all be found in this region of town. The Historic District of St. Augustine, as the nation’s oldest city, represents all that history has constructed here since 1565.

The Oldest Wooden School House

• At the entrance to St. George Street sits the Oldest Wooden School House. If you have some free time, take a stroll beyond it and along this cobblestone street, which has fantastic souvenir shops and restaurants.

Fort Matanzas National Monument

• Upgrade your tour to include a one-hour and 15-minute cruise across Matanzas Bay on the Victory III. This boat excursion, which is narrated by your captain, is an unrivaled way to see St Augustine’s historical landmarks and natural locations of interest.
