Self-Guided Walking Tour of St. Augustine’s Old Town
Overview
Explore the historic heart of St. Augustine, the oldest continuously inhabited European-founded city in the United States, on this self-guided walking tour through its most iconic streets, plazas, and landmarks.
Starting near the Castillo de San Marcos, you’ll follow a route through Old Town, St. George Street, Aviles Street, and the city’s civic core. Along the way, you’ll uncover how Spanish colonists, Indigenous peoples, enslaved Africans, and later civil rights leaders shaped a city defined by survival, adaptation, and cultural exchange.
This immersive audio experience is designed for independent travelers who want more than surface-level sightseeing. Stories unfold as you walk, connecting fortifications to daily life, power to resistance, and past events to the living city around you.
Unlike a group tour, this experience lets you explore at your own pace—pause, rewind, or linger wherever you like.
