Street & Lot Parking Downtown

Founded in 1565, the City of St. Augustine town plan was originally laid out in the late sixteenth century for foot traffic, walking, for horses, and horse-drawn carriages. Cars, trucks, SUVs, Segways, trolleys, trains, and bicycles were not even invented, much less imagined here! That's the reason the streets are so narrow, many of which are one-way, and many streets having overhanging balconies. Due to these narrow streets, parking in downtown and downtown neighborhoods in St. Augustine has always been at a premium.

Your first stop should be at the Visitor Information Center, where you can park in the Downtown Parking Garage.

Parking lots and metered parking spaces are located throughout the downtown area. You will also find on-street parking available in other areas, which will require payment for parking at pay stations. Parking enforcement hours vary by location and are posted on each pay-station.
