7. St. Augustine, Florida is a hidden gem in the USA
A lot of people (including myself) travel to Florida to have a nice, warm vacation. Whether it’s the endless sunshine or the beaches, Florida always has something nice to offer its residents and visitors. But the one hidden gem I am going to talk about today is Saint Augustine. This destination is a romantic getaway mostly because of the buildings and the scenery. Founded in 1565, St. Augustine is probably the oldest settlement in our country.
There are 144 historic blocks in this old town that are surrounded by Spanish colonial buildings, public parks, and museums. The 17th-century castle, the city’s horse-drawn carriages, and the city’s winding cobblestone alleys best capture St. Augustine’s colonial beauty, which is still very much in evidence today.
Although it is located on the coast, St. Augustine is not a typical beach, and because of that, it definitely deserves your attention!
