Head out of London for a full-day excursion to Windsor Castle, with transport included so there's nothing to plan but showing up. Wander the lavish State Apartments and step inside St George's Chapel, resting place of monarchs and site of recent royal weddings.

Reasons to go

  • Founded by William the Conqueror around 1070 and expanded by monarchs over nine centuries

Full description

Founded by William the Conqueror around 1070 and expanded by successive monarchs for nine centuries, Windsor remains in active royal use today, with the State Apartments and St George's Chapel — burial place of several monarchs and the venue for recent royal weddings — open to visitors. Transport from London is included, turning what would otherwise be a logistics headache into a straightforward morning departure and a full day out.

Its near-perfect culture and aesthetic scores put it among the most complete day-trip landmarks in this batch, though the five-hour round trip suits travellers happy to give up most of a day for it.

💡

Good to know

  • Check ahead, since St George's Chapel closes to visitors during Sunday services
  • Windsor has its own Changing of the Guard ceremony on a different schedule from Buckingham Palace's, worth timing for if possible
  • wear comfortable shoes, as the castle grounds involve a fair amount of walking on uneven surfaces.

Reviews

Very well organized. However, we would have appreciated having more time in Windsor Village after the castle.
