In the morning, we depart for the majestic Windsor Castle, a place where more than 900 years of royal history come to life. This imposing castle, located on the banks of the River Thames just outside London, has been home to 40 monarchs since the time of William the Conqueror in the 11th century. Each of these rulers has left their mark, helping to make it the largest and oldest continuously occupied castle in the world.
Your ticket to Windsor Castle gives you the opportunity to explore its magnificent interiors in detail. Marvel at St George's Chapel, a stunning example of Gothic architecture where numerous royal weddings have taken place and where the remains of monarchs such as Henry VIII are laid to rest. In addition, the lavish state flats, decorated with priceless artwork and tapestries, offer a glimpse into the opulent life of British royalty.
The village of Windsor, which surrounds the castle, is a gem in its own right, with cobbled streets lined with traditional shops and cosy historic pubs. As the story goes, it was in one of these pubs that William Shakespeare was inspired to write his comedy ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor’. A stroll through this picturesque town will allow you to immerse yourself in its rich history and timeless charm.
To round off your day, you can choose to enhance the experience with a visit to the iconic London Eye, where you'll enjoy panoramic views of the city, or indulge in a lunch of Fish & Chips, a British dining classic.
