Overview

Visiting the Pope’s summer residence: the Pontifical Villas and Gardens with Skip-the-Line entry tickets

Visit the gardens and relax enjoying a splendid view of Lake Albano and the city of Castel Gandolfo. More than 30 Popes have relaxed in this residence since the end of the sixteenth century when the Pontifical became the owner of the area. The garden is full of statues, marbles and fountains of great value.

Explore the Apostolic Palace of Castel Gandolfo, the summer residence of the Pope, for centuries prior. Around 20 rooms of the Papal Villas are open to the public, allowing visitors to understand the Popes’ lifestyles over the last 500 years.

Paintings, relics, and liturgical vestments, throughout the museum tell the stories related to the Popes that used this residence. Interesting artifacts are also on display, such as the sedan chair of Pope Pius IX and the BMW used by Pope Wojtyla. 

Enjoy a refreshing walk through the lush gardens of Villa Barberini, the private garden of the Pope.
