State Apartments of Windsor Castle Not only it boasts a majestic external appearance, the interior contains priceless and unique collections of dolls, paintings, furniture, porcelain, arms, armours and tapestries handed down from many generations of monarchs who lived there to the present Queen: HM Elizabeth the II.

Treasures and works of Art are not the only interest in the visitor's mind.

The historic part of the town of Windsor is beautifully preserved, very pleasant and enjoyable for a stroll to Eton College, the ancient school with entitled priviledges and the record of the highest number of students who later became Prime Minister. Traditional Tea-Break, time permitting.
