Visites à pied en Caserte

Went with my dad on a random Thursday. The palace is ENORMOUS, like you think you’ve seen a big hallway but then boom—another one, even fancier. I kept losing track of how many painted ceilings I’d seen. Bit of advice: bring water. I didn’t and was regreting it by room #7. Staff were chill, but didn’t speak much English, so we just sort of nodded at each other. The fountains outside are worth the walk (yes, it’s a trek, but it’s pretty and there’s shade sometimes). My dad loved the old statues, I was obsessed with the floor tiles. Didn’t get to see everything because my feet gave up. Def wanna come back for the gardens alone.

The palace is as stunning as folks say. Went with my husband and we were both wowed by the staircase. The hall of mirrors is like, next-level pretty. Only downside was how stuffy it got, not much air flow inside. We stopped for gelato at the exit—perfect ending.

Honestly, this place is wild. It’s like a movie set but real life. We went as a couple and got there around noon, which was…bad idea, sooooo many tour groups blocking the hallways. The rooms are all super decorative, but after a while my boyfriend was like, 'Is this the same room again?' It gets a bit repetitive. Highlight for me was the view from the windows—EPIC gardens. Didn’t love the wait to get in, took about 40 mins. Worth it tho. BRING snacks, nothing nearby.

Palace is beautiful but be prepared for a workout if you wanna see the whole thing, especially the gardens. Went with friends, we joked it was our cardio for the week. Some rooms are closed for restoration but still plenty to see. Weather was HOT, bring sunscreen. Loved the little grotto at the top—super peaceful and not crowded.

Visited with my mom. She LOVES palaces and this one didn’t disappoint. The ceilings were so intricate, and there’s gold everywhere. We took the shuttle up to the end of the gardens (thank god, it’s a long walk). The fountains were working, which made it like a fairytale. Take your time, it’s worth it.
