A Big Garden


The Royal Palace in Caserta is not only a really big building and museum. It's also a very big park, 120ha, with numerous fountains in a long cascade. Walking to the end will take most people an hour or two, while getting back is made easier by a bus.

A Royal Palace


A real gem to visit just east of Napoli is the Royal Palace in Caserta. Called the Swan song of Baroque it's a huge building, once the largest in Europe and today a great museum to visit. It's also a UN World Heritage site. With 1.200 rooms there's enough to see to last the whole day.
