The inside of the Palace was beautiful. Especially the marble staircase and the theatre. It was a shame that the fountains were not on and many of the statues needed to be cleaned. It did look like it was a work in progress at some points in the gardens.

Seeing and getting to know Matera live was a really interesting experience. From the TV reports or the various photographs shown here and there, one cannot at all grasp the beauty and uniqueness of the place, and then the story told by the guide helps you imagine the context and the hard life lived by the locals.

Quick and tailless. The palace is beautiful. I took the entrance from 8:45 a.m. and there was hardly anyone, then I left at about 12:30 p.m., and there was a world of people

Buying tickets great, too bad that the purchase ties you to an inflexible entrance time, so maybe better to wait in line and get in as soon as you have your ticket. Then the Reggia I already knew so I renewed the experience with awareness, I consider useless and misleading the exhibitions that are done inside by contemporary artists that have nothing to do with the context. Finally, the prices of the indoor refreshment bar are robbery, it is not good to take advantage of tourists like that. Two sandwiches and two 50 cl bottles of water 19 euros!

On the website, no one says that the tickets arrive by e-mail much later after the order has been placed. On other applications, train/tourist tickets arrive a few minutes later. When you get your train tickets, you don't know whether you have to go to a ticket office in the station or board the train directly. The process of the day is not described. The description of the day's organization needs to be improved. If everything went well, too much stress due to lack of clear information. The castle visit was great!

The palace is impressive from all points of view, size, conservation, art objects...the gardens also impressive but you need "piedi forti", it is enormous..we walked all the way up and came back by bus, for a fee. Justified, the money for the ticket.

The Palace and the whole complex is absolutely stunning!!! The "negative" notes are as follows: - there is no dedicated entrance for skip-the-line tickets, but on the other hand, despite the crowds the entrance was quite quick; - the audio guide provided with the tickets is not as comprehensive as the one provided by the Palace, it was very disappointing.

The Royal Palace of Caserta is truly a hidden gem. It exceeded our expectations at every turn. Entry into the grounds are strictly timed so visiting the Palace and apartments didn't feel crowded or rushed at all. It was a wonderful experience allowing us the opportunity to appreciate the magnificent Palace at our own pace. We took the option of a golf buggy ride around the gardens with a guide - it allowed us to visit a 10km circuit of the gardens easily with a highly knowledgeable guide who was also able to answer any questions. We highly recommend this option, we wouldn't have otherwise seen as much of the extensive grounds.

With this card, you can enjoy free entry for your first visit to the palace (if using the 3-day card or the 7-day card’s free visit slots) or a reduced ticket price for subsequent visits. It’s a great option for those planning to explore multiple attractions in the region.
Can I get a refund or change my ticket after purchase?
No, tickets to the Royal Palace of Caserta are non-refundable and non-changeable. It is important to double-check your plans and ensure you select the correct date and time before completing your purchase.
Are there any discounts available on the Royal Palace of Caserta tickets?

How long should I plan to spend at the Royal Palace of Caserta?
You should plan to spend at least half a day (4-5 hours) at the Royal Palace of Caserta to fully appreciate both the Royal Apartments and the expansive Royal Park.

The inside of the Palace was beautiful. Especially the marble staircase and the theatre.
It was a shame that the fountains were not on and many of the statues needed to be cleaned.
It did look like it was a work in progress at some points in the gardens.

Quick and tailless.
The palace is beautiful.
I took the entrance from 8:45 a.m. and there was hardly anyone, then I left at about 12:30 p.m., and there was a world of people

The Royal Palace of Caserta is truly a hidden gem. It exceeded our expectations at every turn. Entry into the grounds are strictly timed so visiting the Palace and apartments didn't feel crowded or rushed at all. It was a wonderful experience allowing us the opportunity to appreciate the magnificent Palace at our own pace. We took the option of a golf buggy ride around the gardens with a guide - it allowed us to visit a 10km circuit of the gardens easily with a highly knowledgeable guide who was also able to answer any questions. We highly recommend this option, we wouldn't have otherwise seen as much of the extensive grounds.

Seeing and getting to know Matera live was a really interesting experience. From the TV reports or the various photographs shown here and there, one cannot at all grasp the beauty and uniqueness of the place, and then the story told by the guide helps you imagine the context and the hard life lived by the locals.
