Windsor Attractions And Things To Do

Step into royal history at its most magnificent in Windsor, home to the world’s oldest and largest occupied castle—Windsor Castle—where the Queen’s residence since the 11th century unfolds with its grand State Apartments, St George’s Chapel (final resting place of monarchs including Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth II), and the iconic Round Tower offering sweeping views over the town, the River Thames, and the surrounding Berkshire countryside. Stroll the elegant Windsor High Street with its historic shops, cafés, and the famous Windsor & Eton Central railway station, cross the river to explore the charming riverside town of Eton with its world-renowned college and the iconic Eton Bridge, or take a scenic boat cruise on the Thames past swans and willow trees—all in a compact, walkable royal town that perfectly blends profound British monarchy heritage, scenic Thames beauty, and warm, welcoming hospitality just 30 minutes from London by train.
