Castel Gandolfo is perched above the pure waters of the volcanic crater lake Lago Albano. The small, picturesque town is best known for the magnificent Palazzo Apostolico, where the popes traditionally enjoyed their summer vacations for centuries. A popular destination amongst the Romans, it’s also a perfect day trip for travelers with multiple days in Rome. Hop a train from Rome’s central train station, and after a scenic 45-minute ride, you will be soaking up gorgeous views and sipping on delicious local wines. #TravelTuesday #CastelGandolfo #CastelliRomani #Lazio #Italy
