Being part of the English Garden of the Reggia Caserta (The Caserta Royal Palace) the Bagno di Venere is just another surprising detail. For us it was like discovering a corner of the Paradise. Since one is arriving on the hill top and is entering the English Garden, the Bagno di Venere should not be missed.

3. Belvedere di San Leucio

We had a recommendation to visit the Royal Silk Factory when an Italian friend heard that we would be visiting Castera and I'm glad that they did. Also known as "Real Belvedere Di San Leucio" (on the museum receipt) it is situated on the outskirts of Caserta with a magnificant view of Caserta & the Royal Palace.
I won't go into the history, you can find that in Wikipedia, we visited on a week day in spring and other than a school group, we were about the only visitors. It was even slightly difficult to even find the bus that went there (in front of the Caserta train station, €1) which is quite amazing for a site on the UNESCO World Heritage register. We did a tour without a guide as there wasn't an english speaking guide available, but we had to be accompanied, so a delightful gentleman took us around, inside and out, for an hour, and it cost two of us €6! If there was a guide available that would have been an additional €15, but we got by.
An amazing place for so many reasons. If you are in the area, just do it!

To visit this sight you should first go to the Archeological Museum of Capua, the ticket is valid for both Museum and Mithreum. The person responsible for unlocking the Mithreum will follow you to the location and guide you through it. See pictures for spectacular ancient interior.
6. Ponti della Valle - Acquedotto Carolino

Reviewed By John C - Ottawa, Canada
Very imposing and impressive structure, not well known in the expat community. At the base on the east side, there is some parking next to what I think is a monument commemorating the struggles associated with unification (but not sure).
From this location you will be able to assess the scale of the design as you can climb into some of the arches closest to the ground.
On the west side there is a local switch-back road that will lead you to the entrance to the top of the aqueduct. If you have a small car (A or B class) you can drive off the main road right up to the gate. There is a small olive grove where people have parked their cars and turned around. May be private property so be careful.
The gate is normally opened and you can freely walk across the span. We did not as we had some items in the car that we did not want to leave.
Great views of the valley in both direction from the to of the span. This is now on our list of sites to take visitors.
7. Caseificio Sagliocco

Reviewed By Antonio F - Caserta, Italy
Il Caseificio Sagliocco, gode di una delle posizioni più invidiabili per un caseificio, ovvero l'entrata al casello di Caserta Nord. Peccato che la qualità, a mio avviso, non accompagna la posizione eccellente. Messo a paragone dei grandi nomi dei caseifici casertani, scompare, ma nel suo piccolo, comunque, consiglio di provarlo. Speriamo possa migliorare la qualità dei suoi prodotti, portando ad una rinascita di tutto il territorio limitrofo.

We had spent two very nice hours in the museum and royal palace. The museum is very interesting even if there are few things to see and everything depends on the guide. We had a very nice and available guide, illustrating how everything worked in the past.

I enjoyed walking through the anfiteatro ruins. It was very cheap entrance fee and the Arte card gets you in free. Do not miss the underground level. I wish there was some information posted or audio guide available. I recommend seeing if you have some free time. Close to Naples.
