Castel Gandolfo Opening Hours

These are the most comfortable seasons to explore, with mild temperatures and clear skies. The palace and gardens are less crowded, making it easier to take your time and enjoy the setting.

If you prefer a quieter visit, go during the week. Weekends often attract visitors from Rome, so weekdays generally offer a calmer atmosphere.

Starting your visit early gives you more space to explore the palace and gardens before larger groups arrive. The views over Lake Albano are especially clear in the morning light.

This is the busiest period, but it also showcases the gardens at their greenest and the lake at its most attractive. Expect more visitors, but also longer days to enjoy the entire estate.
