A popular turist attraction

Why Old City St Augustine draws crowds year after year?

Have you ever wondered why destinations manage to draw flocks of visitors not once or twice, but again and again? It is a little something called character, and it is not easily defined despite what the average dictionary might have to say on the subject. A great example of what it takes to bring about a great amount of appeal through character can be found in the incomparable St. Augustine. What makes St. Augustine so appealing? In a large part it’s blending of a modern city with the Old City section that has tons to offer:

  • Artists galore – The Old City of St. Augustine is home to art galleries, workshops, and even just plenty of artists.
  • Amazing history – St. Augustine’s Old City has an amazing history that is unrivaled by nearly any other destination in the world.
  • Vibrant night life – St. Augustine has a very vibrant night life that may not be as well known as Miami, but is almost equally diverse.
  • World-class cuisine – The culinary arts are not neglected in St. Augustine. In fact, there are many top notch eateries that are well known for their offerings.
  • Things to do – It does not matter if you enjoy intellectual pursuits, artistic endeavors, the great outdoors, fun in the sun, or aquatic adventures, but St. Augustine has it all in spades. About the only thing that St. Augustine does not have is snow.
