Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. A royal home and fortress （堡垒）for more than 900 years, it remains a working palace to this day, and is the official residence of The King.
What to see?
Your ticket to Windsor Castle allows entry to the State Apartments, decorated with the finest works of art in the Royal Collection. Spot masterpieces on display by Holbein, Rubens and Van Dyck, Sèvres china and delicate English and French furniture. Admire Queen Mary's Doll's House-the largest dolls' house in the world-and St. George's Chapel, where Queen Elizebeth II was laid to rest in 2022.
The Moat Room gives an overview of the castle's 950-year history, with three largescale bronze（青铜）models showing how the castle looked at different moments in time.
Time your visit for the Changing the Guard ceremony. It takes place at 11 am on select days throughout the year （weather permitting）.
Tickets
Tickets must be booked in advance. Alternatively, book onto one of the many day trips to Windsor Castle that include entry to the castle plus stops at other attractions and towns, including Stonehenge, Bath, Oxford, Lacock, Salisbury and Hampton Court Palace.
If you're short on time, join an afternoon coach tour from London to Windsor Castle, giving you enough time to look around before returning in the evening. You can even combine London's two royal residences on a Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle Tour.
