Delve into the Grand Life and Enthralling Reign of Queen Victoria in Buckingham Palace

AppId is over the quota

Queen Victoria's reputation undoubtedly precedes her. Whatever you think of this monarch who inspires contention as much as admiration, you cannot disregard her great legacy and the fact that she was an intensely important historical figure. Consequently, any tour in England should include a certain amount of investigation into the history of Queen Victoria.

She reigned for, astoundingly enough, over 63 years - a more enduring reign than that of any other British monarch. More than this, her rule was the most lengthy of any female monarch in history. The Victorian era itself was a tumultuous time, a period of intense change in almost every aspect of life: culturally, politically, industrially, scientifically, and militarily. This period was also notable as a time of great development of the British Empire.

Queen Victoria was the first monarch to reside in Buckingham Palace, which is now one of the most celebrated attractions in London for countless visitors. Today, the Palace serves as the administrative headquarters of the Monarch. Imperious and majestic Buckingham Palace possess an extraordinary 775 rooms.

The Grand Hall is exquisite. If you are given the privilege to walk up the curving marble stairs of the Grand Staircase, portraits are still set in the walls, just as they were in the reign of Queen Victoria.
The Throne Room at times functioned during Queen Victoria's rule as a second dancing room and was also used for Court gatherings. It is dominated by a proscenium arch which is propped up by a pair of winged figures of 'victory' holding garlands above the 'chairs of state'.

Indeed, you simply cannot visit the UK without taking some time to explore inimitable Buckingham Palace, and delve into its fascinating history - from the way it was during the Victorian era to the Palace's hosting of much more recent regal events. In many ways, the Palace has not changed greatly since Victoria's time; this is, no doubt, part of its fascination for many. In other ways, the Palace has acquired yet greater opulence and grandeur in the recent age.

Possibly explore Buckingham Palace in conjunction with some of London's other exquisite attractions, such as the formidable Tower of London and impressive Madame Tussauds, on a London tour. Open top tours are especially worth trying. Become enthralled by remarkable, extensive perspectives over the most illustrious landmarks and regions of London. Indulge in an experience you will never forget.
