The soothing walk around the grounds inside Windsor Castle was fascinating with views stretching out over the Thames, into Eton and beyond.
Queen Mary’s Dollhouse
The viewing public can only visit the State Apartments, Mary’s Dollhouse and St George’s Chapel, which are all pretty spectacular to explore within. Queen Mary’s Dollhouse and The State Apartments are actually right next to each other. Our visit to the Dollhouse was quite interesting, with a particular note to the skilfully represented miniature small scale model of its entire architecture on display. That takes some serious talent!
The State Apartments
Our next stop was at the State Apartments and feature some of the most elegant rooms you could ever hope to see in Britain. The State Apartments are furnished with some magnificent art pieces to collectively form the Royal collection. With paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens and Canaletto, to name a few, the decor is of a standard many could only dream of.
The sheer spacious of the venue is breath-taking! There is so much to see, from the beautifully designed furniture and silver crockery to the stunning collection of rifles and pistols hung up against the wall. Add to that all those amazing portraits of famous English Kings and nobility and you've got one of the most unique and inspired places you could ever hope to visit. These rooms definitely contained the "WOW" factor so be sure not to be missed on checking them out if ever you decide to go touring the vast castle grounds.
Each room has a helpful tour guide assists who are always on-hand to impart lots of interesting and insightful information about Windsor Castle, including details pertaining to the great fire that happened here in 1992 and the restoration process afterwards. I was very impressed what a great job they did to resurrect the innate glory of this place once more. Or there is always the option of using their audio electronic device should you wish to get an even more in-depth overview of the State Apartments.
No photos were allowed inside the castle itself, however there are a few rooms that are so exceedingly spectacular, I had no choice but to snap a few quick photos and hopefully not get in trouble for it, lol.
The grand layouts of these rooms look like something out of a living fairy tale. Something of the rooms were so packed with visitors that we all had to be ushered to the next location in small groups. I urge you to come and view the experience of Windsor Castle for yourself one day. It's something I guarantee you won't forget in a hurry.
What a perfect opportunity to observe firsthand a real slice of genuine British history!
温莎城堡风景很美，我们按着指示牌方向一路参观。近看整个城堡高大挺拔，非常壮观华丽！迷人的景色一直延伸到泰晤士河以及伊顿，风光旖旎，让我叹为观止！
玛丽女王的玩偶屋
整个古堡气势宏伟，堡内可参观的地方包括玛丽女王的玩偶屋，国家套房，圣彼得大教堂，都值得大家细细参观，精心品味。
玛丽女王的玩偶屋其实是皇宫的一个缩微模型，麻雀虽小五脏俱全。这里面有皇后用餐的屋子，公主王子的游戏屋，甚至有仆人们的房间。所有的餐具，座椅甚至吸尘器都非常逼真，精细程度可称得上巧夺天工！
国家套房
紧挨着玩偶屋就是国家套房。这里是由许多珍贵的皇家收藏品装饰的，包括Rembrandt，Rubens 和 Canaletto的作品，可谓是淋漓满目！
宫殿内一片金碧辉煌，从设计精美的家具和金银器皿，到挂在墙上的步枪和手枪收藏品，各种壁画和国王贵族们的肖像，尽显皇家的奢华与精致，让我震撼不已！这里无处不散发着皇室的气息，古典奢华，随手一拍都是画！
我建议大家听着语音导览来参观各个厅，会对英国王室的历史多一些了解。除了一些有趣的历史，语音导览还为游客讲述了有关1992年在温莎城堡发生的火灾以及之后的修建工作。真不敢相信这里经历了火灾以后还能重建得这么华丽！
在皇室宫殿内参观不让拍照，可是有几间房实在太堂皇了，我忍不住偷拍了几张，希望不会惹上麻烦，呵呵。
城堡里的房间布局让我感觉像是一个现实生活中的童话故事，非常壮观华丽！强烈推荐大家也来这里看看，亲眼目睹英国的历史！
