Like a step back in time! This was a very fun experience. There was so much to do and see. The Colonial Oak music hall is a very fun little place to stop in and listen to live music while enjoying a few beverages. Eating dinner at Harry's Seafood bar and grill was not a mistake, the food was excellent, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere was very awesome!! I highly recommend visiting Historic Downtown St. Augustine, very fun adventure!!

A must visit! Fell in love with this beautiful Spanish village 20 years ago and came back to visit it again and it’s still so great! Very vibrant and full of good restaurants along with the old town architecture.

Real European feel as you walk down the main street. Many restaurants and bars. Live music in many areas very enjoyable to hear the music as you stroll through the town. The streets are very clean and the city is layed out well.

Almost feels like you're not in Florida, except for the humidity. Very easy to traverse with a ton of historic sites. In addition, there are a number of great places to eat and drink like Harry's and the Ice Plant

I've been visiting this place since 1994. They are finally one cohesive unit and you can tell the small businesses in the historic district are working together. It just seems like the city had its act together. There is even a QR code for live music! I loved the visitors center and cannot believe I've never visited! The Christmas lights were lovely, pictures taken from Bridge of Lions.
