The Pontifical Villas Train is back: the electric train that goes all the way to Castel Gandolfo

Thanks to the collaboration between the Vatican Museums and the FS Italian Group, until November 4, 2023, it is possible to board the Ville Pontificie Train, which every Saturday connects theold Vatican City train station with the Pontifical Villas of Castel Gandolfo.

The Pontifical Villas Train has been affectionately dubbed the “Pope’s Arrow,” because it allows you to visit the summer residence of the Popes, the “second Vatican,” whose rare beauty and riches were made available to the community in 2014 by Pope Francis, who strongly desired the opening to the public of the Pontifical Villas of Castel Gandolfo, the Apostolic Palace and its lush gardens

A unique travel opportunity to move comfortably, avoiding traffic and waiting, by a modern and comfortable electric train and spend a pleasant day that begins at the Vatican Museums, continuing to the Vatican Gardens. The day then ends with a visit to the Gardens of the Papal Villas in Castel Gandolfo.

In addition, all visitors who choose to book “Vatican by Train” are granted privileged access to the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican Gardens and the botanical and architectural wonders of the Pontifical Residence of Castel Gandolfo.

Reservation and purchase of the ticket, which in addition to the trip includes admission to the museum spaces of the Apostolic Palace, on the Vatican Museums website www.museivaticani.va
