Yürüyüş Turları Caserta

Big, grand, but also a bit overwhelming. There’s just SO much to see. My husband and I split up halfway because he wanted to see the art and I wanted to chill by the fountains. Both happy in the end!

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 impressive in scale but felt a little impersonal. Staff were polite but not super helpful. We did enjoy wandering the gardens, though—great place to relax after the heat inside.

We visited on a rainy day and it was actually really cooool—fewer people and the gardens looked magical in the mist. A bit slippery though, so wear good shoes.
