Located on the northeastern coast of Florida, St. Augustine is known to be the oldest city in the nation. The city has a historical appeal with brick-lined streets and old European-inspired architecture. The oldest masonry fort of the continental US, Castillo de San Marcos, is a must-visit. An impressive collection of arts is displayed at Lightner Museum while you can delve into more history at the Colonial Quarter of the old town. See the oldest standing brick architecture of the city, St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum. If you are fond of oddities, you have to visit Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum.
