Medieval Castles

Soar through centuries of history with the Medieval Castles Tour, a scenic VFR adventure across Europe’s most iconic fortresses and walled cities. From the misty hills of Scotland to the sun-drenched castles of Italy, this 15-leg journey takes pilots over historic strongholds that once defended kingdoms, trade routes, and royal courts. Fly past Edinburgh Castle perched atop volcanic cliffs, Stirling Castle overlooking the River Forth, and hilltop fortresses along the Loire Valley, all while enjoying breathtaking VFR views of rolling hills, rivers, and medieval townscapes.

As the tour continues south through the Alps to northern and central Italy, pilots will experience a living history of medieval architecture, including strategic castles, fortified towns, and ramparts that still dominate the landscape. Each leg offers a mix of scenic flying and historical insight, providing a unique perspective on Europe’s feudal past. Perfect for pilots who love combining aviation, culture, and the thrill of exploring ancient fortifications from the air.
