Explore the culture, history, and heritage of these cities for an entire day, making the most of a trip that covers three cities in one outing.

Royalty at Windsor

It is no secret that Windsor Castle is filled with treasures. Enjoy entry to the heart of the castle and explore the State Apartments used for official functions. Admire interiors adorned with masterpieces by artists such as Holbein, Van Dyck, and Rubens. Step inside St George’s Chapel, which houses the tombs of 11 monarchs, and discover Queen Mary’s Dolls' House, a miniature masterpiece created with contributions from over 1,500 craftspeople.

Windsor’s century-old tradition

Outside on the castle grounds is where one of Windsor’s oldest traditions takes place. Symbolizing the discipline of the British monarchy, the ‘Changing the Guard’ involves the handover of duties from the "Old Guard" to the "New Guard." Time your visit to witness this ceremony, held on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 11am, to experience British royal tradition up close.

Tailor your visit

Enjoy the convenience of tailoring your visit to Windsor Castle based on your preferences. A typical visit lasts 2 to 3 hours, giving ample time to explore the State Apartments, St George’s Chapel, and the Changing the Guard. If you have other plans for the day in Windsor, prioritize visiting the State Apartments and St George’s Chapel to get the best of what the castle has to offer.

Visitor tips

  • Don’t miss the Changing the Guard tradition, held on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 11am. Plan your visit so you can see this ceremony either before or after exploring the other attractions.
  • Allow at least 2 hours to explore the castle, though 3 hours is ideal, as all visitors must pass through a mandatory airport-style security check. Avoid carrying prohibited items or large bags to make the process quicker and smoother.
  • The castle sits atop a steep hill, so plan for some walking and take breaks where needed.
  • Avoid visiting on Sundays, as St George’s Chapel remains closed. Plan for a weekday so you can cover all attractions within the castle at once.
  • Some parts of the castle, like the State Apartments, are open seasonally, from March 1 to October 31, 2025.
  • After your visit, take time to stroll through the historic town of Windsor and visit nearby Eton College across the Thames. They are worth every bit of your time.
  • Pro tip: Check for the King’s presence by looking for the Royal Standard flag flying above the Round Tower. If it’s flying, the King is in residence.
