Planning your trip early will enable you to take in more of the spectacular sites the town has to offer.
It is recommended you book an accommodation in the historic district so you can walk to most destinations. You can choose from hotels, or stay at a St. Augustine Bed and Breakfast, inn or even a hostel. However, you should book early, especially during high traffic holidays. Don't feel like walking? The popular Red Train will take you anywhere you want to go.
Sightseeing aboard the train is a fun, relaxing and informative experience. The train, which is literally red in color, takes visitors around the city to savor the beauty and history of the area. Red Train tours take approximately an hour and can start anytime between 8:30 AM and ends at 5:30 PM. Visitors are allowed to get on and off to sight-see and rejoin the train tour from many different areas. There is a train available every 15 to 20 minutes, as it circles major tourist attractions around the town's historic district.
To tour the city aboard the Red Train, requires a valid pass. The pass allows you to tour the city at your own pace, and it is valid for three months except on December 25th. Every year, thousands of people from all over the world flock to St. Augustine to experience the rich history of the foundation of America.
During the trip, the tour guides recount the fascinating history of St. Augustine while pointing out historic homes, buildings, the fort and ghostly haunts. No matter where your St. Augustine Bed and Breakfast is situated, you will be able to conveniently catch a ride on the train.
Other sites you might be interested in include an alligator farm, the Ghostly Experience, and the beach. The beach is only a few minutes from downtown and a bus pass is only one dollar each way.
