Step by Step

25 km from Rome is the town of Castel Gandolfo where you can visit the exclusive Papal Palace and the Barberini Gardens . You will have an audio guide during the whole visit so that you can learn the most interesting facts about the different Popes who have spent their summers there and all their anecdotes. If you prefer, you can choose to hire a private tour guide.

The return trip from the Roman capital to the papal villa is included, so you don't have to worry about organising anything.

Inside the Papal Palace you will be able to contemplate different works and objects of great value. Among the creations is a portrait of the current Pope with which you can have your photo taken as a souvenir. You can visit from the bedrooms to the library.

After the visit to the palace, you will have free time at Lake Albano to sample Italian cuisine or admire the view.
