Upstairs/Downstairs at the Alcazar Tours
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

areas of the museum typically closed to the public where
participants will learn what life was like for both guests and
staff who visited and worked at the Alcazar Hotel during the
Gilded Age in St. Augustine. The tour lasts 1 ½ hour and is in
addition to the Dressing Downton exhibition. Tickets are $45
per person. Reservations are required. Recommended for
