Culture, History. Adventure. Nature. Elegance.

Holiday in Caserta

Caserta is a place that impresses with its grandeur.

In the heart of Campania, away from the sea but rich in history, Caserta is home to one of the most spectacular royal complexes in the world: the Royal Palace of Caserta, a masterpiece of architecture, gardens, and water features that feels almost like a fairytale.

You don’t simply visit a palace here, you step into a world of majestic halls, monumental staircases, endless avenues, and dramatic fountains. The Royal Palace was built to be a true royal capital, meant to rival Versailles, and it still carries that same sense of power, elegance, and wonder.

Caserta is the perfect destination for those who love art, history, landscapes, and royal atmospheres, and it also makes a wonderful cultural stop during a journey through Campania.

When to visit Caserta

Caserta can be enjoyed year-round, but spring and autumn are the ideal times to explore the Royal Palace and its gardens.
Here’s why:

Comfortable temperatures for long walks through the royal park.
Blooming gardens in spring, with fountains and greenery at their best.
Fewer crowds, allowing a more relaxed visit.
Soft natural light, perfect for admiring architecture and water features.

In summer the gardens are beautiful but the heat can be intense, while winter offers a quieter and more contemplative atmosphere.

How to reach Caserta

Caserta is one of the easiest destinations to reach in Campania.

By train, Caserta is directly connected to Naples, Rome, and Salerno. The railway station is located right in front of the Royal Palace, making arrival incredibly convenient.
By car, take the A1 Naples–Rome motorway and exit at Caserta North or Caserta South.
Regional buses are also available, but the train remains the fastest and most comfortable option.
