Explore Historic St. Augustine

Our meeting sits in the heart of the nation's oldest city, so there's plenty to enjoy between sessions. Saturday afternoon (roughly noon–5:00 pm) is left open for you to explore at your own pace — everything below is within easy reach of the DoubleTree:

• Castillo de San Marcos — the 17th-century Spanish stone fortress on Matanzas Bay, and the oldest masonry fort in the continental U.S. (We may organize an optional group visit — watch for details.)
• Old Town Trolley Tour — a hop-on, hop-off narrated loop that's the easiest way to see the city's highlights and step off wherever catches your eye.
• Historic Old Town — cobblestone streets, St. George Street's shops and cafés, the Cathedral Basilica, Flagler College, and centuries of history all within a walkable few blocks.
