In order to visit the Royal Palace of Caserta you need to know some fundamental information:
1) the Royal Palace is closed on Tuesdays;
2) Online purchase/reservation is no longer mandatory, consequently the ticket can be purchased:
- directly at the ticket office (on some days there may be a risk of standing in line, but apart from this, there are no longer any particular restrictions in force, consequently buying at the ticket office is once again a more than valid option);
- by telephone; calling the number: 0823448084 it is possible to purchase the ticket with an operator, using the Visa or MasterCard circuits. You will receive the ticket directly by email.
- On the TicketOne platform; it will not be necessary to print the ticket (which can simply be shown via smartphone), but only to follow the procedure that we report at the end of this page.

TRAINS:
The Caserta station is right in front of the Royal Palace. This is not a coincidence: after having had the Naples-Portici line built in 1839 (the first railway line ever built in the Italian peninsula), Ferdinand II of Bourbon moved on to the construction of the Naples-Caserta railway line in 1843, with the Caserta station which was located just a few meters from the Royal Palace itself.
From Salerno there is a train every hour – every day: the direct trains, however, which take only 60 minutes, are only available in certain time slots, but these slots are perfect for guaranteeing a complete visit to the site.
