About Castel Gandolfo
Perched above Lake Albano in the Castelli Romani hills, Castel Gandolfo pairs the Pope's summer residence with a quiet lakeside town of terraced gardens and long lunches. The papal palace and its gardens are the headline draw, and you can see them on the Castel Gandolfo: Papal Apartments and Secret Garden Ticket or as part of the Rome: Castel Gandolfo Day Trip with Papal Palace Entry, which handles the trip out from Rome for you.

Frequently asked questions
Book as early as you can, especially for anything involving the Papal Palace and its gardens, since entry is limited and timed. Summer weekends and the warmer months fill fastest, and day trips from Rome are the first to sell out. Booking a few weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of dates and departure times.
