From 1923 to 1943, the Royal Palace was also home to Italia Aeronautica, the Italian Airforce Academy.

The Royal Palace of Caserta is wonderful! Walter, our knowledgeable and friendly guide, showed us around the palace: the Royal Staircase, the chapel, and the theater. We were allowed to see these areas "in exchange" for a visit to the gardens, which (unfortunately) were closed due to bad weather and strong winds—trees had even fallen over. Too bad, but it’s definitely worth another visit!!! Thanks, Walter

The app is easy to use, but there were a few issues with the audio guide. Unfortunately, it wasn't updated to reflect which rooms were open to visitors and which weren't, so it was sometimes hard to tell which part of the palace it was referring to. Otherwise, the content was excellent and clearly explained.

The palace is easy to reach, and entry was straightforward. The staff at InStazione—the company behind the Naples site—were very friendly and helpful. You’ll be contacted via WhatsApp and phone call the day before the tour begins for confirmation. Train tickets and palace admission tickets are picked up at their “InStazione” information desk at Naples Central Station. I was a bit skeptical about this app due to mixed reviews online, but as far as my trip goes, it turned out fine.
