Itinerary
Day 1
A comfortable, accessible day focused on the Reggia di Caserta: pickup, a guided interior visit, relaxed garden time, lunch and return.
Optional pickup — Meet at Caserta Railway Station (Stazione di Caserta)
Driver meets the group at the main station entrance and assists with boarding. Recommended for guests arriving by regional train or who prefer not to walk from the station.
Tips from local experts:
- Request pickup when booking so the driver can meet you at the station ramp/covered area — no long stairs required.
- If you use mobility aids, tell the operator the model (folding wheelchair/walker) so the vehicle allocation is appropriate.
- There are sheltered seats and public toilets inside the station; arrive a few minutes early to use facilities if needed.
Transfer to the Reggia di Caserta (short drive)
Private vehicle transfer from Caserta station to the palace entrance. Vehicle will stop at a level drop-off point near the main entrance to minimise walking.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the driver to stop at the accessible drop-off near Piazza Carlo di Borbone to avoid the long avenue steps.
- Carry any small mobility essentials (water, medication) in an easy-to-reach bag for the short transfer.
- If you prefer to travel by taxi instead, request one with a ramp or low floor and confirm assistance with luggage/doors.
Meet your licensed guide & indoor guided tour — Reggia di Caserta (2 hours)
Start the 2-hour guided visit inside the palace: highlights include the grand staircase, throne room, Royal Apartments and major frescoed halls. The guide will adapt the pace, provide seating breaks and point out accessible routes.
Tips from local experts:
- The palace offers step-free routes for major rooms; ask your guide in advance for the easiest path to avoid long stairways.
- Bring a lightweight folding seat cushion if you prefer extra padding on the palace benches — guides can point out places to rest.
- Entrance tickets are bought separately online (TicketOne) — ask the guide to help confirm the correct time slot to avoid queuing.
Leisurely stroll through the palace gardens and fountains
A gentle, mostly flat walk through the front parterre and the accessible sections of the Giardini della Reggia. Time to enjoy fountains, the Grand Cascade views and shaded seating.
Tips from local experts:
- Stick to the main paved avenues near the palace façade — they are the most level and have benches in the shade.
- Spring in May is mild; bring a light layer and a hat. Water taps and public toilets are located near the main garden entrances.
- If walking is tiring, ask the guide to show the best fountain viewpoints reachable by short paths or request a wheelchair-friendly loop.
Seated lunch break near the palace — relaxed pace
Sit-down meal at a nearby cafe or trattoria with easy seating and restroom access. Time to rest, eat and ask the guide about local history or transport options.
Tips from local experts:
- Choose a table inside or on a ground-floor terrace to avoid steps — inform staff you need step-free access when seated.
- Ask for a simple, senior-friendly menu (soft foods, smaller portions). Many local trattorie are happy to adapt dishes for dietary needs.
- If weather is pleasant, pick a shaded outdoor table facing the palace to continue enjoying the view without long walks.
Return transfer to Caserta Railway Station (or your requested drop-off)
Comfortable transfer back to the station or a central drop-off point. Driver can assist with mobility aids and luggage; arrival time planned with sufficient daylight.
Tips from local experts:
- If you prefer a specific drop-off (hotel entrance, taxi rank), tell the driver in advance to ensure level access.
- Confirm wheelchair assistance or a ramped vehicle at booking time if needed — it avoids delays at the end of the day.
- Collect small souvenirs early (before sitting down to lunch) so you can avoid carrying purchases during the guided walk if that helps balance energy.
