St. Augustine Day Tour

Picture of St. Augustine Day Tour

Visit Florida's "Old City," and step back in time to the Spanish Colonial era, exemplified by Castillo de San Marco, the oldest fort in the United States, perched upon the shoreline.

Wander the historic streets of the United States' oldest city, and discover all the unique cultural opportunities that this town provides. Stroll down St. George Street, lined with quirky shops and historic buildings, including a wooden replica of the area's first school at the same spot where it originally stood.

Off the main street, you can visit dozens of art galleries that contain the works of St. Augustine's thriving art community. Next, head to the water's edge, and take a tour of Castillo de San Marco and the remnants of the original Spanish occupants of the city—dating back to 1565. On the grounds of Flagler College, step foot into the exquisite Ponce de Leon Hall, which was originally a luxury hotel built in 1888.

The Lightner Museum

75 King Street, St Augustine, FL, United States

The Lightner Museum is housed in the former Alcazar Hotel built in 1888 by Henry Morrison Flagler (1830-1913). The hotel was often called "the castle of happy returns."

The hotel was at the peak of its popularity during the 1890's. More than 25,000 guests visited the Alcazar during those early winter seasons and countless more used the recreational facilities of the casino. For the pleasure of the guests, there was the world's largest indoor swimming pool at the time (which now houses the museum's restaurant); the grand ballroom, sulfur baths, a steam room, massage parlor, a gymnasium, a bowling alley, archery ranges, tennis courts and a bicycle academy.

The Museum's eclectic collection ranges from a mummy, shrunken heads, human hair art, cigar labels, buttons, salt and pepper shakers, to Tiffany glass, cut glass, porcelain, fine art paintings, furniture and sculpture all housed throughout the four floors of the original Alcazar Hotel. The museum also hosts special exhibits and tours throughout the year.
