On Saturday 6th May 2023, hundreds of thousands of travellers from around the globe will flock to London to watch King Charles III crowned at Westminster Abbey. It will be the fortieth known coronation held at Westminster Abbey.

William himself was apparently rather uneasy, and tensions between the new Norman nobility and the recently conquered English soon erupted into violence. Charles’ coronation is likely to be less dramatic, but rather more spectacular.
Whether you can’t get enough of royal celebrations, or you want to hide under your duvet until it’s all over, there's travel inspiration to be found in coronation spots around the world. Read on to discover five destinations that have hosted the most important, impressive or just downright unusual coronation ceremonies throughout history.
