Forts & palaces

The grandest of the grand

What you'll do

Step through a grand doorway and into a different era of powerful dynasties, lavish banquets, and lives lived on an epic scale. The world’s great forts and palaces aren’t just eye candy (though they are definitely that, too), but a living, breathing history with stories etched into every fresco and flagstone. Whether you’re wandering through ruins in Cambodia, getting goosebumps in ancient throne rooms in Jaipur, or marvelling at ornate architecture in Sri Lanka, these great testaments to humankind’s ingenuity tell magnificent tales of old and add a little something to any trip.
