Verdikt

Vítěz: Windsor Castle

Pokud máte čas jen na jedno, vyberte Windsor Castle. Yes, Windsor Castle is the best royal day out from London. Book the 10am entry, head straight for St George's Chapel before the coach groups arrive, and remember the castle is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Tower of London je stále worth it, jen to zařaďte níže.
