Plan The Visit
Check before you go
Address: Windsor Castle, Windsor, Berkshire SL4 1NJ
The visitor entrance sits at the top of Castle Hill. Security, a steep approach, long internal distances, outdoor sections, cobbles, stairs, bag rules, photography limits, services, and temporary closures can shape the visit. Read the current access material, book an access companion ticket when eligible, and treat worship in St George's Chapel as different from paid sightseeing.
