What Travellers Say
A fantastic place to see. The history of the royal family was really interesting. There's a lot of walking, but it isn't as steep as the castle in Edinburgh. You can't take photos inside, which is a bummer, because there are so many photo opportunities and such beautiful works of art. The chapel is closed on Sunday. We didn't get to see it.
I visited Windsor Castle yesterday and absolutely loved the experience. The castle is incredibly impressive, full of history and beautifully maintained. Walking through the State Apartments felt like stepping back in time, and the views over the surrounding area were stunning. The atmosphere was calm and majestic, and everything was very well organised. I was especially impressed by St George’s Chapel — truly breathtaking. It was a memorable visit and definitely worth seeing if you’re in the area. Highly recommended.
One of the most impressive attractions I’ve ever visited. The architectural structure is stunning, the level of maintenance is extremely high, and the rooms inside the castle are truly breathtaking. A must-visit. Unfortunately, photography is not allowed inside, but the experience is still absolutely amazing. Highly recommended!
The castle is amazing! Could probably skip the doll house if short on time. The state apartments are a sight to see, sadly no pbotos inside of the castle only the exterior. Got to see the changing of the Kingsguard. Very much worth a trip. Came with a tour group, our group was first in line.
Absolutely gorgeous 😍. All the family loved it! Also it was very nice that the audio guide was included in the price ticket, we have learned so much and our children had fun spotting different parts of objects around the rooms. We have visited on a Friday afternoon and it was crowded! Even so, plenty of room to move around and enjoy it. It took us about 2 hours, but we skipped the Queen's Doll House, the queue for that was ridiculous.
