Choose your day
Windsor Castle opens Thursday to Monday and is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. From November to February it is open from 10:00 to 16:15, with last admission at 15:00; from March to October it closes at 17:15. As a working royal palace, it can close at short notice, and St George’s Chapel is closed to visitors on Sundays.
Getting there
Windsor & Eton Central station is about ten minutes’ walk from the castle, with trains from London Paddington changing at Slough; Windsor & Eton Riverside has direct trains from London Waterloo. There is no parking at the castle, so drivers use the long-stay car parks in the town centre.
At the entrance
Everyone passes through an airport-style security check, and some items, such as penknives and scissors, go into the security cloakroom. Travelling with as few bags as possible makes the check quicker. A multimedia guide is available in several languages.
