Windsor Castle has been the ancestral home of the British Royal family for more than 900 years and is the largest continuously occupied castle in Europe.
Marvel at the splendour of the State Apartments, the grandest apartments in England, where paintings by Van Dyck and Rubens hang from the walls and the ceilings are painted with elaborate, magnificent murals.
Set within the grounds of Windsor Castle, St George's Chapel is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England. Construction of the present Chapel began in 1475 under the reign of Edward IV. When visiting, make sure you look up and admire the stone ceiling, which Henry VII added.
The Chapel has been the location of many royal weddings, including TRH The Earl and Countess of Wessex, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and HRH Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank. Within the Chapel are the tombs of 11 monarchs, including Queen Elizabeth II, George VI, Henry VIII and Charles I.
Don’t miss a colourful display of typical British pageantry on select mornings at the Changing the Guard ceremony, where the duties between guards are handed over to The King. If His Majesty is in Windsor during your visit, you may be lucky enough to see the Royal Standard flying on the flagpole of the Round Tower.
