What travelers say:
As soon as I laid eyes on Windsor Castle, I knew I was in for a royal treat! 👑 This magnificent fortress has been the home of British monarchs for nearly a millennium, and let me tell you, it oozes history from every nook and cranny. From the moment I stepped through the iconic Henry VIII Gate, I was transported to a world of regal splendor. The State Apartments were a true feast for the eyes, with their ornate ceilings, priceless artworks, and lavish furnishings. I half-expected Queen Elizabeth herself to emerge from one of the rooms! 🤴👸But the real showstopper was St. George's Chapel. This breathtaking Gothic masterpiece left me utterly awestruck with its soaring arches, intricate stone carvings, and the final resting places of numerous kings and queens. Talk about a royal sendoff! 💀👻And let's not forget the legendary Changing of the Guard ceremony. Watching those stoic guards marching in perfect synchronization while sporting those iconic bearskin hats was a sight to behold. 🐻 I felt like a kid again, gawking in wonder at the sheer pageantry of it all.Windsor Castle is an absolute must-visit for anyone who wants to experience the grandeur of British royalty firsthand. Just be sure to pack your crown and scepter! 👑⚜️

Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world. It has been the family home of British kings and queens for almost 1,000 years and is today one of the official residences of Her Majesty The Queen. Occupying over 10.5 hectares, the Castle offers a varied day out for visitors, including a visit to the magnificent State Apartments and St George's Chapel.
The Windsor Castle includes the State Apartments that are used today by the Royal Family, and other must-see moments within these spectacular rooms, like the Waterloo Chamber, the Crimson Drawing Room and Semi-State Rooms.
The entire Windsor Castle can be divided into upper area, middle area and lower area. The upper area mainly includes palace furnishings such as Waterloo Chanmber, galleries, Queen Mary's Dolls' house, etc.
The central area is dominated by a round tower surrounded by a rose garden. It was originally built of wood and later rebuilt with stone. The Round Tower was once a prison for political opponents of the royal family, but now it is mainly used to preserve royal documents and photography collections.
St. George's Chapel in the Lower District is a fine example of English Gothic architecture. It is famous for its magnificent stone fan-vaulted roof and detailed and gorgeous stained glass. It has also hosted many royal weddings.

Windsor Castle#ldninsider One of the beautiful sights in Europe is the castles. They are full of history and the way they are built is magnificent. Castles are rarely being seen in Asia. Thus, when we were in London, we took the chance to visit Windsor Castle. When we visited Windsor Castle, the weather was very good. Thus, the sky was very blue with nice clouds. With the sky as the background, the castles look spectacular. It was an enjoyable trip. Windsor Castle is the oldest castle in the world. Construction started in 1070. It is now a royal residence in which it has been home for British Kings and Queens for almost one thousand years. Address: Windsor SL4 1NJ, United KingdomBret Huat9

The Windsor Long WalkThis one is for the one who wants to exercise while traveling. The Long Walk of Windsor is indeed a long walk. It’s a 2.64 mile (4.2 Km) long straight path which runs from the Windsor Castle through the Windsor Castle Park and also the Deer Park to the Statue of King George III located on the place called Snow Hill. It’s a very comfortable walk and the road and terrain is easy to walk but the visitors must pay attention to the safety while crossing the fairly surprisingly located busy road which runs across the path about in the middle. The gates near the last third are meant to keep deer park animals from going out. If you visit the village of Windsor or the castle and have a few hours of extra time to spend, doing the long walk and having a picnic near the path is a good idea in my opinion. The views are amazing and you can even spot some big planes from there. #windsor #castle #berkshire #uk #park #urbanexplorerKoupipii13

Windsor CastleAddress - Windsor SL4 1NJ, United Kingdom (Located 1 hour away from London City) Highlights - Royal residence. Oldest and largest occupied castle in the world Rating - 5/5 The castle is highly recommended for the castle lovers when you visit London because it represents the history of the Royal family! Through a tour of the castle, you can find out what life was like for the royal family. Note that no photography is allowed inside the castle, as it's one of the Queen's homes. As a result, you will have to use your eyes to view the beautiful interiors and so many historic items. We have booked a tour from London to go there, and we had the option to include other places like Stonehenge, Bath and more based on our preferences. I would recommend going through tour so you will have the greatest chance of getting in first and also travelling there might be inconvenience as well. Do check out on the guard change timing so that you won’t miss out the ceremony! #travelinspiration#scenicspotguide#unforgettableexperiences#historicculture#naturalwonders#culturalattractionsWagaWagaa17

I was so excited to watch the guards marching exiting the castle after the ceremony ends. After doing some research, I am surprise to learn that the castle is the oldest resides castle in UK and one of Herr Majesty favourite castle. #tripawayLGKMY7

Who doesn’t love the Windsor Castle— The Royal Residence? Stunning castle with mixed Gothic, Victorian and Georgian Architectural elements that makes the castle unique and beautiful! I’ve been here thrice: once when I was younger with family and friends, then in 2019 when my relatives from abroad came to visit us and in during the pandemic, I cycled from London to Windsor Castle! Highly recommend! also Legoland is located nearby and Eaton College as well! There’s a lot to see and do here!
we stayed in Windsor last year so we went to Windsor castle , work was been done so could not go in , but we walked round the perimeter of it Reasons to Recommend: to know that it is one of the royal family residence
royal place to visit. very close to London so easy to get to and lots of free parking on weekends close by. nice place to visit with high streets close by and lots of restaurants too.
Windsor Castle is a royal residence at Windsor in the English county of Berkshire. I really love this castle as it is full of historical stories.
