Caserta

This tour is not just a visit to a palace, but a full immersion into the ambitious vision of King Charles of Bourbon and the genius of architect Luigi Vanvitelli an experience that will take you back in time to the heart of what is considered the largest royal residence in the world: the Royal Palace of Caserta.

The tour begins with the ascent of the Grand Staircase of Honor, a triumph of polychrome marble culminating in an invisible dome where, in the past, musicians played hidden, welcoming guests with ‘heavenly music.’ You will visit the Royal Chapel, the Throne Room, and the Bourbon apartments, all decorated by great 19th-century artists and furnished by expert silk artisans from the nearby factories of San Leucio.

Stepping outside the palace, you will find yourself on the famous ‘Via dell’Acqua,’ a straight axis stretching as far as the eye can see. You will stroll through perfectly manicured lawns and geometric flowerbeds, admiring the monumental fountains of Aeolus and Ceres, as well as the Grand Waterfall. The tour concludes with a visit to the stunning English Garden.
