About Castel Gandolfo
Castel Gandolfo is the papal hill town above Lake Albano, and for first-timers its headline attraction is the Apostolic Palace and its gardens rather than a traditional amusement park. Start with the Castel Gandolfo: Papal Apartments and Secret Garden Ticket, which opens the papal apartments and hidden gardens, or take the Castel Gandolfo and Its Secret Gardens: Day Trip from Rome if you want the whole visit arranged for you.

Frequently asked questions
Castel Gandolfo is the pope's summer residence, so its main draw is the Apostolic Palace and the gardens rather than rides. First-timers can tour the papal apartments, walk the secret gardens, or combine the visit with the lake. It is compact, easy to reach from Rome, and unlike any standard theme park.
