How to Turn Your Fascination With the Royals Into an Unforgettable Vacation

Windsor Castle is the biggest occupied castle in Europe. It's been the home of Queen Elizabeth's family for generations, and since it's where she spent the bulk of her childhood, it has a special place in her heart. The Queen spends a large portion of every year at the vast, ancient-looking stone castle.

A tour of Windsor Castle is a historical wonder, full of gorgeous paintings, opulent interiors, and generations of weaponry. Make sure to save time for a stroll along Windsor Great Park. Don't be alarmed by the big planes coming in for a landing at nearby Heathrow.
