Visiting the Reggia di Caserta: What to See at Italy’s Largest Royal Palace
It might not have been every little girl’s dream to be a princess, but it was definitely mine. Every once in a while, I find myself in places that transport me to a universe where that dream might have been possible, and the Reggia di Caserta is one of those places.

In this blog article, I will tell you everything you need to know about visiting the Reggia di Caserta, from the palace itself to the incredible gardens and how to get there, so you too can feel like a princess (or prince, king, or queen) for a day.

If you want to see Rome from a different perspective, or if you find yourself in the city for a longer period of time, these are the must visit neighborhoods for an experience that goes beyond the standard tourist one.
