Flagler College

I toured Flagler College and downtown along with my brother. Architecture of this college is fabulous. Some of the detail is absolutely remarkable. Nice tour available without ever stepping foot on the property. Plenty of photo opportunities. I’d like to see the inside of some of the buildings at some point on a later more in-depth tour.

Explored this college during our trolley tour—it's a Flagler creation from nearly a century ago. 🏛

The architecture is breathtaking, and the Tiffany windows in the dining hall are so intricate that they're insured for a whopping $130 million. 💎

The main building features a charming courtyard adorned with beautiful decorations. 🌿✨

The Flagler College area is absolutely beautiful. The Spanish architecture is breathtaking. From the terracotta roofs to the red iron gaits and railings, this place is eye candy. Walked around and looked at the various hotels and other various buildings, all the same style and flair. When you tour the downtown Saint Augustine area, venture a little further down to see these sites.

Taking the free architectural tour at Flagler College was absolutely fascinating and beautiful! It was like time traveling back to the Gilded Age where conspicuous luxury and customized environs and decor knew no bounds. Learning the history of the visionary team behind the project and the short amount of time this hotel was completed yielded many surprises for us!

Had the special privilege to be on the 2pm tour of Flager College which started its life as the Flagler Hotel. Built to be the Newport of the South, the most incredible thing is all the original Louis Comfort Tiffany stained glass windows. The entire property is jaw droppingly beautiful. Right now only 2 tours a day. One at 10am the other at 2pm. Adult tickets are $15 and worth it.

Visited for the afternoon historic tour. This facility is simply stunning. It’s very existence is pivotal to what we now know as modern day Florida. The tour was interesting and hosted by one of the attending college students. While she did get a bit “tour-guidey”, she had some great insight into the main building’s history. The tour itself is just over an hour and takes you into some rooms you wouldn’t be able to see otherwise. A small portion of the tour is outdoors, so weather could be a factor. Our tour guide did a fantastic job picking a nice, comfortable, shady spot for our outside stop. If you’re in the area, and looking for brief afternoon activity, then you can’t go wrong with a historic tour of this campus.

Located in a great place I wonder if people really concentrate study as the city has lots of fun places and attractions.
I Really enjoyed and recommend.
Public Parking lot by the water and the old castle. $5 for 2 hours.

Very well kept grounds and amazing historical significance to this town! Walk their gardens and observe their Spanish inspired architecture.

This review helped in anyway please give us a thumbs up 👍👍👍

We didn’t do the official tour but we would next time. We just wandered around for a bit. A really neat campus and interesting history. The architecture, wood work, stained glass and ceilings were beautiful.

Very cool architecture and a great place to snap a photo while in town . I don’t attend the actual college just review based off the architecture outside . Very cool historical place for sure

What an awesome piece of historic architecture this place is! Loved the tour and the old world feel of this place. Further, it’s full of firsts for its time. I’ll not spoil it for you but if you’re a history buff as I am you can’t afford to miss a stop at this place!!

Visiting St. Augustine? Don’t leave until you walk through the doors of Flagler College.

Step back in time as you view the breath taking dome that adorns the grand lobby.

The garden courtyard is worth the trip.
Love the architecture!!!
Slow down and enjoy the beautiful views.

My niece toured the campus... And honestly I think we all fell in love. Amazing architecture... Like walking back in time to a different era. The school stands tall academically... And still maintains its close knit community feeling.

Perfect Indoor activity for a rainy day. The tour shows you a few place around the college that you can not access on your own. It's $10 and they are hourly from 10-3. There isn't a ton of walking, so if you have elderly people in your group they can keep up no problem. The tour is done by students, we had Trevor, he was an amazing tour guide. He was well educated on the history of the building and answered every question that we had. The sights were gorgeous and the tour wasn't terribly long. This is a definite must do in the old City.

Amazing architecture and interesting history. Worth visiting even just to see the grounds and the main lobby.

What a wonderful atmosphere it is! I really like the architecture of the building.

Didnt get to do the tour, but this college is just beautiful!! Recommend a trip here!Beautiful fountain out front. Next time we will have to do the tour.

I currently attend the Public Administration Program (PAD) at Flagler College and have found it to be one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. The professors seek to enrich your life through education and are focused on student success. The campus is set in beautiful downtown St Augustine and the community is very close knit, many students walk or bike to wherever they want to go. I'm looking forward to the day I am able to call myself Flagler Alumni.

The old Ponce de Leon hotel 🏨 was turn into the Flagger college a truly masterpiece, it looks more of castle 🏰 than a hotel, the cúpula was mesmerizing and breath taking.

Absolutely stunning. The student tour guides are great and give a lot of information about the history and a little on the college itself.
