St. George Street
The Old Town pedestrian street, lined with shops, restaurants, and ice cream parlors in Spanish colonial-style houses. The Colonial Quarter, a living history site, is also here.
St. George Street runs south from the City Gate to Plaza de la Constitución and is the liveliest pedestrian street in St. Augustine. Along the way you'll find the oldest wooden schoolhouse, the Pirate & Treasure Museum, the Colonial Quarter living history site, and plenty of cigar shops, cafés, and Spanish snack bars. It is very crowded during the day, but the atmosphere is better after dark when the lights come on, and many ghost walking tours gather here.
Opening hours
