St. Augustine was founded in 1565, making it the oldest continually inhabited city in the continental United States. There are so many places to visit, including Fort Matanzas, the St. Augustine Lighthouse, the Bridge of Lions, Castillo de San Marcos, Flagler College, Menendez Park and more!
We started at 7pm from the Old Town Trolley Welcome Center, visiting Tolomato Cemetery and then the Old Jail where the guide talked about real paranormal investigations and an EVP recording. We finished inside Potter's Wax Museum's Chamber of Horrors hearing about the pirate's execution. It was well-paced.
We left Orlando in the morning and drove nearly 200 miles round trip, arriving in St. Augustine around noon. The one-hour trolley ride through the old town was a good way to see the fort and college without tiring ourselves out.
I took the Old Town Trolley in St. Augustine and liked that one ticket worked all day with plenty of stops. The conductor shared a lot of city history, fitting for America's oldest town. The included museum entry and beach shuttle felt like good value.
We left Orlando in the morning and drove about 188 miles to St. Augustine. It was a long day round-trip, but seeing the fort, Flagler College, and the Lightner Museum made it feel worthwhile. Lunch wasn't included, so I bought something on my own.
