These tickets for the Papal Gardens at Castel Gandolfo get you a rare glimpse inside the Pope's impeccable gardens – the Gardens of Villa Barberini – plus venture inside the grand Apostolic Palace.

Overlooking the emerald green waters of Lake Albano, this stunning complex is a great escape from the hustle and bustle of Rome. There's a reason why Italian's plan their dream weddings here – it's mesmerizing.

This divine property has provided peace and quiet for more than 30 popes since it was built in the early 17th century. You'll be overcome with Papal intrigue and fascinated further inside the Apostolic Palace.
