Pro tips to help you make a pick
Note that a basic entry ticket doesn't guarantee entry to all the sections of the Royal Palace. Entry to the apartments, park, etc. comes at an additional fee.
Touring the castle premises might sometimes take even half a day owing to its vastness. You can take a buggy or even a horse-drawn carriage if you want to get around.
If you're visiting in the summer, try to arrive before 9am. This gives you a head start from the other tourists, and also helps you see the palace before the sun gets too strong.
End your tour by climbing the set of stairs to the artificial cave called “the Dungeon” above the waterfall. Gift yourself with a stunning view of the entire gardens and palace with Mount Vesuvius and the island of Capri in the background.
About The Royal Palace of Caserta
Naples' Royal Palace of Caserta is a UNESCO gem celebrated for its 18th-century opulence and Baroque magnificence. With sprawling gardens reminiscent of Versailles, this architectural marvel beckons history enthusiasts from world over.
With 5 floors, 1200 rooms, a museum, library and theatre, it is the largest royal residence in the world by volume. The gardens alone extend beyond 11 acres.
The Royal Palace of Caserta was the chosen spot where the Germans signed their unconditional surrender at the end of World War 2. This guaranteed the permanent removal of German and Italian fascist troops.
In 1943, precious canvases within the Palatine Chapel were destroyed by the bombing during WW2. Some standing columns still bear evidence to this fateful episode.
From 1923 to 1943, the Royal Palace was also home to Italia Aeronautica, the Italian Airforce Academy.
The Royal Palace was also a preferred choice as a movie set, with films like Mission Impossible and Angels & Demons, etc. being shot on its premises. Two movies from the Star wars franchise (The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones) was also taken here.
