About St. George Street

St. George Street is a pedestrian-only route through Historic Downtown St. Augustine, following a colonial roadbed first laid out in the 1700s. You enter at the City Gate and pass the Oldest Wooden School House, the Colonial Quarter and reconstructed colonial buildings. In between are shops selling handmade goods and regional art, candy kitchens, gelato spots and restaurants with shaded courtyards. Look up as you walk to see the second-floor balconies.
