Located in the beautiful green Castelli Romani hills, the Apostolic Palace is situated at the top of a hill that overlooks the pristine Lake Albano. There are two ways to get to Castel Gandolfo. Either depart from Roma Termina Station or take the Pope's private train that departs directly from Vatican City. If you want to be a Vatican VIP, we offer a day trip from Rome that includes a skip the line Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel tour, access to the Vatican Gardens and a visit to Castel Gandolfo on the Pope's train.
Once you arrive in Castel Gandolfo, it's time to experience the enchanting Barberini Gardens. Built over the ruins of Emperor Domitian’s Villa, the gardens are now open to the public as a gesture of goodwill by Pope Francis. These unbelievable gardens are filled with carefully tended hedges, fountains, flowers and ancient Roman ruins. They are so beautiful you must see it to believe it. After working up an appetite, enjoy a feast fit for the Pope himself in the gardens of exclusive organic cheeses, meats and bruschetta that is locally-sourced from this very land.
After you are properly fueled up on delicious chow, explore the town of Castle Gandolfo and all its amazing views. There are plenty of shops, restaurants, art galleries and bars to enjoy in this tiny town. When you've seen the town, enter the the Pope's summer residence (now Museum) for a self-guided tour of the Apostolic Palace. Included on the tour are rooms that include the Pope's office, bedroom and even costumes that the popes of the past once wore. Check out the collection of cars driven by popes that now stay parked in the courtyard of the villa. When you've finished seeing all the attractions in Castle Gandolfo, simply board a bus that takes you back to the bus back down to the local train station and cruise on home to the San Pietro Train Station in Rome.
We did this tour today. It was the best tour I have ever been on. The tour guide, Adrianna was wonderful and very accommodating. I recommend this tour 100%.
Thank you for the beautiful and informative video. We were there lastMay for my 50th birthday. We were lucky to have local friends took us around and were given a private tour of the garden and library. There are still much to see in Rome! What a jewel!
I was born and raised in Castel Gandolfo 💙 You did an excellent job on explaining the history of my town, thank you
Wow! I stayed at Palazzola convent about 30 years ago and walked to Castelgandolfo. Lucky you
Going to Rome for a month on Sunday. Definitely visiting here!
Wtf does this have to do with Rome?
I visited here in December well worth it...a very beautiful spot
Looking forward to do the Vatican VIP tour of Castel Gandolfo next Saturday!

Looks like the train ride is already worth the trip
How do you book this day tour from Rome? Does it run every day?
This is an excellent video my daughter and I loved it! I do have a question. When you get off the train from Rome is there a bus or a shuttle to take you up the hill to Castel Gandolfo if you do it yourself? And what is the train called that you take from the Termini?
love the comment yet dont answer question. So, loving comments without even reading them because i guess a heart is good enough for you, thats what you really wanted, not you know, an actual ANSWER to your question lol
"im just so big, i cant be bothered to reply to comments. Cant you see? I have a whole 17 of them! That would take me a week to get thru!"
How many rooms?
👍👍👍👍👌👌👌
Where is Sean?????
I hope all the money the tourism in Castel Gandolfo makes will be used to help the poor and hungry.
