Wander through The Savill Garden

Located within the royal confines of Windsor Great Park, Savill Garden is an enchanting horticultural haven. Reflecting the cycles of nature throughout the year, each season paints the garden in a different hue of colours and blooms, making it a must-visit at any time of year.

Step into history at St George’s Chapel

As the final resting place of many monarchs and a prominent site of royal weddings, St George's Chapel serves both reverence and romance. Its arresting Gothic architecture offers grandeur whereas the intimate corners whisper tales from the past.

Experience the boat life on the River Thames

Take a leisurely cruise along the Thames to admire the idyllic landscape of Windsor and its surroundings. Offering views rarely seen from the land, a river journey captures Windsor from a unique perspective.

Destination Essentials

Choosing the best time to visit Windsor depends on your personal preferences! Summer brings the best weather and lusher landscapes, perfect for exploring the gardens and taking extended Thames cruises.

If you prefer a quieter ambiance, opt for the cooler months. Winter and early spring offer a wonderfully serene atmosphere. With the advantage of shorter queues at Windsor Castle and restful riverside walks, you can enjoy Windsor's charm at a more leisurely pace. Keep in mind though, it’s always impressive to catch the iconic Changing of the Guards, which takes place at certain times across the year.
