A FANTASTIC DAY TRIP FROM NAPLES. - The Royal Palace of Caserta is located in Campania, Italia 55 mins by train from Naples. Movies that were filmed here - Angles & Demons. Mission Impossible 111. Star Wars 1 . The two Popes & Conclave. After visiting today we know why. It’s magnificent.
This Palace was constructed by the House of Bourbon-The Kings of Naples & Sicily as their main residence as Kings of Naples. Construction started in 1752 by King Charles 111. The Palace is the largest erected in Europe during the 18th Century.
In 1997 it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Spend the whole day here as visiting both the palace and gardens will take all day. In between seeing the palace & gardens have lunch at S Lucia Pizzeria Trattoria in the town. It’s a excellent Trattoria. We are there at the end of our visit. You can easily buy tickets at the door for € 18 each.
If you come to Italy it’s a must see.

Impressive palace and gardens worth a visit. - Wow. The palace is amazing. We hired a guide, and I’m glad we did. It’s room after room of art and architecture. Without someone there to provide context and history it might not have the same impact.
We went in July, it was obscenely hot, but crowds were manageable. There’s a cafeteria onsight as well as on the grounds. Prices were reasonable for a touristy place.
After visiting the palace, the grounds are available to explore on foot, bike, or by shuttle bus to the far end of the gardens. Private golf carts are available for more custom tours - but no, you can’t drive them yourself.
The gardens and water features are impressive. Wear good walking shoes.
I’d wager that the palace isn’t on most tourists’ itineraries, but if you’ve got a little extra time, it was worth checking out. It’s a relatively easy and inexpensive trip from Naples.
Sidenote: a scene from the Star Wars franchise was shot in the palace.

Gorgeous gardens - This is a stunning place with amazing grounds and gardens! Unfortunately, the inside was closed, however, the gardens are lovely, and it’s also nice to pay 10 Euros per person for a golf cart to take your party up and down the hill to see all the gardens without having to walk uphill in the heat.

Lovely Site in Naples - Interesting and Educational - I spent 3 days in Naples with a friend. During our time in Naples, we visited this palace. Quite an experience - beautiful and educational. The ticket price was reasonable. Really worth a visit if you are in Naples.

Great tour - Our guide was excellent. We were in a private tour for 2 people and we learned so much and got to enjoy the palace as well as the gardens. Great experience!

Unbelievable Opulence and Grandeur! A Must See! Don't Miss It! - If you find this review helpful, please let us know by clicking the like button below! Thank you!
We could not believe the opulence of this site! All of this was built for one person!
The rooms and structure are exquisite and opulent with many works of art and many other treasures to see!
To see this palace would take days to just skim through and maybe a month to totally see it all!
Very MUST SEE! (and many times)

Royal Splendor -
Full with envy towards his French Cousin, Carlo di Burbone ordered his architect, Vanvitelli, to build him a Palace “better than Versaille”. And he got it, Versaille looks like a poor cousin compared to this beauty. There are tons of info you can easily find about this Palace on the Web, so I’ll concentrate on practicalities: We arrived without reservation or pre-booked tickets in the middle of the afternoon on a Wednesday. No problem getting tickets, if you pay the full price (€15). Knowing that we did not have much time, we wanted to see only the Royal Apartments, but for that we had to wait 3 hours. So, we paid full price and saw only what we wanted. Not very crowded, a few groups and very few individual visitors. Parking is available on site, €2. there is an audio guide, but all the info is also posted by every exhibit, in Italian and English. Special section covering the construction of the Palace and its architect, including an interesting video. All in all, plan to spend half day if you want to see it all. The Royal apartments only take about 3 hours. All this marble, gold and mirrors, very impressive

Very impressive palace with beautiful gardens - My wife and I visited the Royal Palace at Caserta during an Italian holiday. We parked in the underground car park adjacent to the palace.
The palace is certainly impressive, although we were a bit confused about how to get into it, as the entrance was cut off when we passed the first time.
We spent a couple of hours in the extensive and impressive gardens before returning to look around the palace.
The rooms are incredibly ornate and impressive.
Definitely worth visiting if you are in the Naples area.

Beautiful - We took the train from Naples which was very easy. Turn RIGHT when you get off. We went left and followed others who didn't know where they were going. We ended up walking miles in 30 degrees heat. Had we gone right it would have been 5 minutes. All it needs is one small sign at the station. I have a disability so by the time we got there I wad struggling. While going around the rooms someone came and asked if I would like a wheelchair. I didn't hesitate in excepting. Thank you for taking the time to do this. The palace is beautiful and so are the gardens. We got the shuttle up there. It would have been nice though if we could have got off at the fountains as well as the gardens as it meant we would have to walk back down to them then back up to get the shuttle. Gardens are lovely but a sign to the English gardens would have been a big help. Everyone was lost.

The Royal Disappointment - This Palace is run down and has low maintenance. For something that cost quite a bit to see, I was astonished at how the city “prizes” their beloved history.
The tapestries are absolutely filthy and not cared for.
The paintings have such bad corrosion from years of abuse.
The floor is weak and bouncy from mold as well as mold and leakage in the plastored ceilings.
The stone, cracks and is left to fall and continues to crumble apart.
Statues have dust caking their surface and you’re left wondering if it's even marble at all.
I could keep going on and on about how just awful it was. I’m irritated about the money wasted when I could have used it to explore other palaces in smaller areas that are well cared for ans their paintings are definitely loved.
This place is a money grab for the city.
