Castel Gandolfo
00040 Castel Gandolfo, Metropolitan City of Rome Capital, Italy
Southeast of Rome, Castel Gandolfo is a rural escape with gorgeous views of Lake Albano. Here, you’ll find the summer home of the pope, complete with a villa and ornate gardens that are open to the public. Get here easily from Rome by train or car, and spend a lazy afternoon strolling the city center with its narrow streets and lively squares.
