Windsor Castle stands above the historic town of Windsor as the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. Founded in the eleventh century and still an official residence of His Majesty The King, it offers visitors a direct encounter with nearly a thousand years of royal history.
Inside, the visitor route includes the State Apartments and works from the Royal Collection, while St George’s Chapel forms an important part of the castle precinct. Access to individual areas and the Changing the Guard schedule can vary, so check the official visitor information when planning your day.
Set at the top of Castle Hill, the castle is an easy focal point for a day in Windsor and works well alongside a walk through the town or along the Thames. The Royal Collection Trust recommends booking ahead and allowing around one and a half to two hours for the visit.
