Famed around the world for being the home of the British roy­al fam­i­ly, Wind­sor Cas­tle has long been one of the Unit­ed Kingdom’s most pop­u­lar tourist des­ti­na­tions. Remark­ably, the cas­tle is not only the longest-occu­pied palace in the world, but also the largest.

The sheer size and scale of the roy­al res­i­dence beg­gars belief, and tak­ing a tour around the lux­u­ri­ous and seem­ing­ly nev­er-end­ing state apart­ments is sim­ply a must. Orig­i­nal­ly built in the 11th cen­tu­ry, Wind­sor Castle’s Geor­gian and Vic­to­ri­an design, extrav­a­gant Baroque inte­ri­ors, and refined Roco­co fur­nish­ings all make it one of the finest and fan­ci­est cas­tles on Earth.
