Where it starts
Old City Gates
Your self-guided tour begins at the Old City Gates, at the northern end of St. George Street where it meets Orange Street. Look for the two large stone pillars marking the entrance to the pedestrian shopping district. Once you reach the gates, open your self-guided tour on your phone to begin. Parking: Paid parking is available at the Historic Downtown Parking Facility, 1 Cordova Street, next to the Visitor Information Center. From the garage, walk toward Orange Street and follow it east to St. George Street and the gates. Allow approximately 5–10 minutes for the walk.
