Following the Villas and the Gardens, now the Apostolic Palace too opens to the public for the first time
The Apostolic Palace of Castel Gandolfo opens up for the first time to visits by the public. This tour is offered to both the individual visitor and groups interested in taking part in a collective visit with an audioguide.
An “invitation to the Palace”, not limited only to the weekend!
With the exceptional opening to the public of the Pontifical Villas of Castel Gandolfo, the Apostolic Palace too becomes, for the first time in history, accessible and open to visits.
A special train, departing every Saturday from the Roma San Pietro railway station, will transport visitors to the station of Castel Gandolfo; from there, they will make their own way to the Apostolic Palace in Piazza della Libertà.
A new type of visit that enriches the already exciting option, "By train to the Apostolic Palace" with a tour in the "green heart" of the Pontifical Villas on board a comfortable ecological vehicle. Visitors are guided by a multilingual audioguide and a tour itinerary on an illustrated map.
The option, available only on Saturdays, is intended for individual visitors or groups interested in a collective tour.
Within the Apostolic Palace, a special guided tour to discover two “hidden” spaces, not normally accessible to the pubic: the Music Hall and/or the Chapel of Urban VIII.
No visit to the Castelli Romani can be considered complete without a stop in the picturesque Piazza della Libertà in Castel Gandolfo, where the solemn Apostolic Palace opens its doors for the first time to the wider public of families. The advantageous Family Tariff welcomes them and invites them on an open tour with audioguide.
