St. Augustine, host of the 37th Annual FLORIDA HUDDLE, has been recognized by National Geographic Traveler\'s World\'s Top 20 Places to See. The northeast Florida city, founded in 1565, is one of only four locations in the United States included on the international list.

HUDDLE\'s second evening event \"LUMINOSITY\" will commence at the Lightner Museum, and include a tour of the city\'s famous Nights of Lights. National Geographic\'s editors praised the city for maintaining the genuine \"old Florida\" culture and charm and preserving its nearly 450-year-old historical assets.

Editors specifically recommended the

Lightner Museum built by Henry Flagler

in 1887 in the Spanish Renaissance style.

In December 2011, National Geographic selected St. Augustine as one of the ten best places in the world to see holiday lights. St. Augustine\'s popular Nights of Lights illuminates the city\'s historic district with more than three million tiny white lights, providing a brilliant setting for the city\'s holiday events each year from late November through January.

Located midway between Daytona Beach and Jacksonville, Florida\'s Historic Coast features historic St. Augustine, with the outstanding golf and seaside elegance of Ponte Vedra Beach, 42 miles of pristine Atlantic beaches the same beaches that greeted Ponce de Leon on his historic 1513 discovery . . .

. . . of the land he named La Florida.
