Half of the place is really quite stunning, with beautiful wall paintings and spacious halls. The other half is a bit ordinary with some random objects presented, but still nice. The entrance fee isn't too high either. Since there wasn't anyone else when I visited, I guess it is a hidden Herculaneum gem. Plus the cashier was super nice. nice beautiful palace Mixed views about this. The entrance fee is too high for what it is in my mind. HOWEVER, it does contain in a couple of rooms some truly unique and magnificent finds from Herculaneum. I recommend it for that alone, but only if you are prepared to suck up the ticket price. The Reggia is closed for holidays in August, check their website for details. I recommend visitting at the weekend because the old library and the Chinese Room is open for visitors only on Sat and Sun (since these rooms belong to the Agricultural Faculty), absolutely worth it! Free parking in the courtyard for visitors. Well worth a visit if you like museums and history. Now part of the University of Naples. Entry charges 5 - 9 euros each depending on which parts you want to see. The palace is a very interesting place to see with large gardens and rooms Make sure you go to the actual website where tickets are only 10€ per person and the online guide is very good (bring your own headphones to play on your smartphone). Shame there is no real furniture or pictures of how it was once furnished. The visit covers quite a lot, so give yourself time. The Botannic Gardens are quite small. Better than overpriced Naples museum however for what we have paid we didn't go to the parts we wanted to see so it is a bit tricky for the ticket price and the parts you can see for the ticket you buy. It's not a hand-holdy museum experience. But there is amazing stuff there. The Museo di Ercolano is truly fascinating; it presented me with really interesting material to consider the ethics of artifact conservation. Ticket includes the botanical garden. Fantastic place. Ticket office is a bit hidden to the right of the large gates that look towards the sea (with the statue of Marcus Nonius Balbus on the horse). Doesn’t seem to be that popular although the rooms and views are amazing. Includes access to the botanical gardens. At 3 Euros, it’s a deal. Lot’s of interesting information about how the Bourbon King of Naples looted the newly discovered ruins of Herculaneum for his private collection. Much better experience than the archeological museum which is tacky and a total rip off. Really enjoyed visiting this Palace, inside the ceilings are all unique, English signage is available and there are great views. My family and I also really enjoyed the botanical garden, lots of diverse plants and palm trees with signage. There was a washroom which was also handy. The internet was spotting so the guided tour didn’t work inside. A guided tour of both the palace and the gardens would have enhanced my visit but was not offered on the Sunday in June when I visited. It might be worth booking an English tour spot in advance.
