Timings

Seasonal tips: Windsor is enjoyable to visit year-round, but spring is the most pleasant time to explore the castle and grounds. To avoid the busiest crowds, consider visiting between November and March.
Best time of day: The castle is generally quieter on Mondays and Thursdays, while weekends tend to be busier. For a calmer experience, plan your visit after 1pm when crowds are smaller.
Changing the Guard: This ceremony is a must-see. Arrive early to secure a good viewing spot and plan your visit around the 11am schedule on Tuesdays, Thursdays, or Saturdays.
