Castel Gandolfo: the Papal Palace and the lake

Piazza della Libertà, the Papal Palace facade and the blue of Lake Albano bring papal history and the Castelli Romani landscape together in a short walk. When open on your chosen day, visit the palace rooms and Secret Garden with an official admission ticket, then take in the view from the old town.

A private car and driver collect you at your Rome accommodation and bring you back. Allow two to three hours for palace, garden and village. Expect slopes around the viewpoints. Check the official opening calendar and ticket availability before fixing the visit. The public village and viewpoints make a good walk even when the palace is closed.

Admission, lunch and any guide are outside the transport price. Nearby restaurants are independent suggestions with menus and availability to confirm directly.
