Four friends and I visited the Royal Palace of Caserta for the first time on October 14, 2026. Getting there is very easy, as the station is right nearby. The palace is absolutely breathtaking and massive. Our guide, Walter, was very knowledgeable, answered all our questions, and shared humorous stories about what court life was like. The immense garden is also a must-see, especially the English Garden, as is the beautiful fountain. It’s best to buy tickets and book a guide online, just as we did. All in all, a wonderful experience and, above all, money well spent to truly understand the details of this architectural treasure. Vanna

A fantastic site! The guide Walter was very professional and extremely knowledgeable about everything, even geology. A wonderful experience. For the shuttle, I recommend the 15-euro full tour; on foot, even partially, you don't get to see all the beauty of the caves and gardens, including the 7 waterfalls and the 12 waterfalls representing the days of the week and months of the year, plus the magnificent fountains. The Royal Palace of Caserta is the mother of Versailles and Vienna.

My husband and I took the guided tour of the Royal Palace of Caserta and were thrilled. Ms. Diana was wonderful—extremely knowledgeable and able to keep our attention from start to finish. She shared historical anecdotes and architectural details with perfect pacing, without ever feeling heavy or boring. An experience I highly recommend to truly appreciate the beauty of the place.

Beautiful historic castle, the Versailles of Italy. We spent the day touring the castle and enjoyed the castle and gardens. It's well maintained and the signage is in multiple languages to facilitate your visit. Easy to get to.

Wonderful experience! With the guide, you step into the world of the 18th century, see through the eyes of the princess, and imagine yourself in that era during a court party, entering via the magnificent staircase enveloped in music.
