Il programma nel dettaglio
Immerse yourself in the life and power of Henry VIII and visit Hampton Court Palace in the outskirts of London and open your eyes to London’s great iconic landmarks aboard a River Thames cruise.
Hampton Court Palace
The flamboyant Henry VIII is most associated with this majestic palace, which he extended and developed in grand style after acquiring it from Cardinal Wolsey in the 1520s. He lavished money on fabulous tapestries and paintings, housed and fed a huge court and pursued a succession of wives, political power and domination over Rome.
The Tudor Buildings which remain are among the most important in existence, but the elegance and romance of Hampton Court Palace owes much to the elegant Baroque buildings commissioned by William and Mary at the end of the 17th century. The palace is set in 60 acres of gardens, which include the famous maze and the awe-inspiring Great Vine.
