Get in
The most common way to get to St. Augustine is by car but you may also arrange to arrive by train or by bus. If you arrive by car, the best place to park is the main Visitors Center. They charge a flat rate for all day parking, are centrally located to the most interesting sites, and have plenty of info on hand so you can more easily plan your visit. Limited parking is also available on the street and at the Castillo but do not count on easily being able to find a parking spot with these two options. The most convenient place to park is at the Castillo De San Marcos parking lot, available for a nominal fee.
Get around
There are a few ways to get around in St.Augustine. Walking will allow you to see most of the historical buildings and shops with relative ease. There are also horse drawn coaches and tourist trains (trams) that give (frequently embellished) narrated tours of parts of the city.
