Where Every Visit to St. Augustine Should Start

St. Augustine’s Historic Downtown Parking Facility (HDPF), the preferred parking location in the Nation’s Oldest City, is located adjacent to the St. Augustine & St. Johns County Visitor’s Information Center (VIC) at 10 W. Castillo Drive just off U.S. 1. There’s no easier way to start your visit to St. Augustine than at the HDPF & the VIC.

 

The HDPF and the VIC

The HDPF’s nearly 1,200 parking spaces are available 24 hours a day every day of the year. Convenient to St. George St. and San Marco Ave. as well as the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, the parking facility offers easy connections to all sightseeing services.

Helpful information from well informed ambassadors is the keystone of VIC operations. With spacious and clean restrooms, a gift shop, informational videos, current events and cultural information and rows and rows of brochures and guides, the VIC is the place every visit to St. Augustine should begin.

Parking at the HDPF is $1.25 per hour with a $7.50 per day maximum. During selected peak days, a flat all-day rate of $7.00 is payable on entry to ease exiting for visitors.
