Windsor Castle

Windsor Castle

Windsor Castle, the oldest continually inhabited castle in the world, is located idyllically on the banks of the River Thames and is one of England's most significant landmarks. Just a short drive from London, it is a perfect stop on a tour through southern England – particularly for those who love history, architecture, and royal atmosphere.

Attractions in Windsor

The centerpiece of the town is naturally Windsor Castle itself. Since the 11th century, it has served as a royal residence and is still an official residence of the British monarchs today. Visitors can explore large parts of the castle – including the lavish State Apartments, the artfully designed St. George’s Chapel, and the famous Round Tower, which offers a wide view over the surroundings. Particularly impressive is the daily Changing of the Guard, which is a real highlight for visitors.

Besides the castle, the historic town center of Windsor also invites you to linger. Small alleys, charming cafés, and traditional pubs shape the image, and the proximity to the Thames makes walks along the river particularly appealing. On the opposite side of the river lies Eton, known for the prestigious college of the same name, which is one of the most renowned educational institutions in the country.

Activities around Windsor

The area around Windsor is perfect for relaxed drives in a convertible. The green landscapes of Berkshire and the gently winding roads provide excellent conditions for an enjoyable tour. Those looking for a slightly longer route can continue the drive along the Thames to Henley-on-Thames or through the lovely countryside of the Chiltern Hills.

Windsor is ideally located along many southern England tours and is perfect for a short breather with royal flair. Especially in the spring and summer months, the region offers a diverse interplay of culture, nature, and history – perfect for convertible drivers who want not only to cover distance but also to enjoy themselves.

Windsor – Between Tradition and Nature

Windsor combines royal history with charming city life and beautiful nature. Whether as a day trip from London or as a fixed part of a convertible tour through southern England – a visit is worthwhile. The majestic castle, the idyllic river landscapes, and the historical atmosphere make this place an unforgettable experience.
