The Tower of London


Tower of London

Nestled on the north bank of the River Thames in central London, the Tower of London is not just a tower but a complex of several buildings set within two concentric rings of defensive walls. This historic castle has served variously as a royal palace, a fortress, an armory, and even a prison. It is most famous for housing the Crown Jewels and its role in the British monarchy's more tumultuous times. A visit here allows you to step back in time and explore the medieval architecture, where every stone has a story to tell.



Edinburgh Castle

Edinburgh Castle

Perched dramatically on Castle Rock, Edinburgh Castle dominates the skyline of Scotland’s capital. This historic fortress represents the spirit of Scotland and its long and often bloody history. The castle has witnessed many of the defining events of Scottish history and today hosts the Crown Jewels of Scotland and the Stone of Destiny, used in the coronation of Scottish rulers. From its ramparts, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the city and beyond, making it a perfect spot for those who love picturesque landscapes combined with history.
