Caserta · Royal Palace

Province of Caserta · Campania · Italy

Admission and costs
The combined Apartments, Park and English Garden ticket costs €18, plus €1 online. The Royal Nativity is inside the Apartments, so a park-only ticket excludes it. TicketOne is the palace’s authorised online seller; exit and re-entry are not permitted.
Getting there
Alight at Caserta station opposite the palace. Cross towards Piazza Carlo di Borbone and reach the main complex entrance; the Apartments visit is distinct from access on the park side. Keep your ticket and complete your chosen route before leaving the complex.
Time to allow
Allow around 4 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The Royal Apartments form the indoor core of the visit, including the nativity in Sala Ellittica. The evening Apartments ticket from 17:00 costs €5 plus €1 online and does not include the full daytime park visit.

Christmas in everyday life

TO DISCOVER

In Zurich the Christmas tree really sings. And you want to leave!

Red capes, green branches and dozens of voices: the Singing Christmas Tree is also a tree made of people. From 19 November to 23 December 2026 a square in the heart of Zurich is once again filled with music. And the concerts are free.

TO DISCOVER

CHRISTMAS: THERE IS MORE THAN ONE STORY IN THE NATIVITY SCENE!

Shepherds and Magi meet in our cribs. In the Gospels, they come from two different stories waiting to be discovered.
