Castle
Discover the Tower of LondonThe Tower of London, officially Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London, is one of the world's most iconic historic landmarks. Standing proudly on the north bank of the River Thames, this historic fortress has served many roles over its nearly 1,000-year history—as a royal palace, a notorious prison, a place of execution, an armory, a treasury, and the home of the Crown Jewels.Visitors can explore the imposing White Tower, marvel at the dazzling Crown Jewels, meet the legendary Yeoman Warders (affectionately known as Beefeaters), and discover the famous ravens that guard the grounds.Highlights of Your VisitThe Crown Jewels: View the priceless ceremonial regalia used by British monarchs during coronation ceremonies, including crowns, scepters, and orb.The White Tower: Built by William the Conqueror in 1078, housing the Royal Armouries collection including royal armors of Henry VIII and Charles I.Medieval Palace: Step back in time to explore reconstructed medieval chambers used by medieval kings and queens.Bloody Tower & Traitors' Gate: Uncover dark tales of royal prisoners, political intrigue, and unsolved mysteries such as the Princes in the Tower.
Standing proudly atop Castle Rock, an extinct volcanic crag formed over 350 million years ago, Edinburgh Castle is the undisputed jewel in Scotland's architectural crown. Dominating the cityscape from every angle, this grand fortress offers visitors sweeping panoramic views across the historic Old Town, New Town, and out toward the Firth of Forth.As you pass through the Esplanade and step over the drawbridge into the castle grounds, you enter a living museum of Scottish history. Within its ancient stone walls lie remarkable national treasures, including the Honours of Scotland (the oldest crown jewels in Britain) and the legendary Stone of Destiny, an ancient symbol of Scottish monarchy. Visitors can wander through royal apartments, explore dark dungeon vaults where prisoners of war were held, and visit St. Margaret's Chapel, the oldest surviving building in Edinburgh dating back to the early 12th century.Every afternoon (except Sundays), locals and tourists alike gather to witness the firing of the famous One O'Clock Gun, a tradition dating back to 1861 that originally served as a time signal for ships in the harbor. Whether you are exploring the Great Hall built for King James IV or admiring the National War Memorial, Edinburgh Castle delivers an unforgettable journey through centuries of royal drama, military history, and national pride.
Discover the 'Giant of the Loire Valley'Soaring dramatically above the idyllic countryside of the Anjou region, Château de Brissac holds the proud title of being the highest castle in France. With seven soaring floors, over 200 rooms, and monumental facade work that blends medieval stone towers with lush Baroque ornamentation, this grand château is unlike any other in the Loire Valley.Stepping inside Château de Brissac feels like entering a living history museum. Remarkably, the castle has remained in the same family—the Cossé-Brissac family—since 1502. Today, the 14th Duke of Brissac and his family still reside within its monumental walls, giving the opulent interiors an exceptionally warm and authentic character. Visitors can marvel at magnificent tapestries, towering carved wooden ceilings covered in genuine leaf gold, fine antique furniture, and a surprising 200-seat 19th-century private opera house commissioned by the Marquise de Brissac.Vast Grounds and VineyardsSurrounding the fortress is a sweeping 70-hectare parkland featuring century-old trees, scenic walking trails along the Aubance River, and lush flower beds. The estate is also well known for its winemaking tradition; the château’s historic cellars produce delightful Anjou wines, which visitors can sample during their tour.
