Windsor Castle is a historic and grand structure, known as the largest and oldest occupied castle in the world, and serves as one of the official residences of Her Majesty The Queen. The castle's origins trace back to around 1080, with numerous improvements and expansions made over the centuries, culminating in the stunning castle we see today, completed in 1830. Exploring Windsor Castle and its surroundings is a true delight for tourists. The area offers a wide array of food, drinks, and unique memorabilia available in nearby shops, along with scenic boat rides on the River Thames. The "old English" architecture of the castle is particularly captivating. While the prices for goods and services around the castle are understandably higher compared with other areas, they do not feel out of place given the setting. The ambiance of Windsor Castle is truly remarkable, and it's nearly impossible to fully explore the entire castle in just one day. Covering 484,000 square feet and spread across 13 acres of land, the castle is divided into two main sections: Lower Ward: This area includes St. George's Chapel and the Albert Memorial Chapel. Upper Ward: This section houses the private apartments of the monarch and visitors. Additionally, the castle adjoins Home Park, which lies on the northern edge of Windsor Great Park. Home to some of the oldest broadleaved woodlands in Europe, the park adds to the natural beauty surrounding the castle. Inside, Windsor Castle boasts over 1,000 rooms, more than 300 fireplaces, and an impressive collection of royal paintings, armor, and furniture that could rival any museum. For history enthusiasts and tourists alike, Windsor Castle is an absolute must-visit destination.
