Upstairs/Downstairs Tours at the Alcazar
The history of the Lightner Museum as well as its former splendor as the
Alcazar Hotel shows many parallels to the time period and lives of the
characters of the popular television series Downton Abbey. This is a guided
tour to areas of the museum typically closed to the public where participants
will learn what life was like for both guests and staff that visited and worked
at the Alcazar Hotel during the Gilded Age in St. Augustine. The tour lasts
one hour and is in addition to the Dressing Downton exhibition. Tickets are
$45 per person and can be purchased through the website. Reservations are
required. This tour is recommended for adults only. 75 King St., St. Augustine
