What to expect

Travel along the dreamy Italian countryside, far from the hustle and bustle of Rome - a true treasure chest of art and history. Visit the picturesque village of Castel Gandolfo, perched on the sapphire blue waters of Lake Albano, developed around the Pope's Summer Palace.

Let a Vatican staff member accompany you on a walking tour of the Secret Garden and visit the Papal Apartment, so you can immerse yourself in 500 years of history. Wander from bedroom to private chapel, from library to study, and look at the balcony from where the Popes said the Angelus every summer Sunday. Lastly, you'll immerse yourself in this treasure chest on the outskirts of Rome where you'll follow in the footsteps of the Popes in the 7 rooms and summer offices inside the Palace.
