A interesting place of great historical import as this was one of the first places where the modern factory was created. Much of the factory has been restored and very nice to visit if you are interested in early industrialization. Created in the late 1700's the factory and attached royal palace (summer palace for the King of Naples) it requires you to arrange for a guided tour before you can get in to see it. Expensive but worth it to see the place. It's too bad hardly anyone goes there but at 155 euros for a guide for 2 hours (plus 11 euros pp to get into the factory) it is too expensive for a lot of people unless you have an interest in early textile manufacturing.

The park at the Royal Palace of Caserta requires about 2 hours to visit decently. You can access it on foot although I found that the bus service which costs €2,50 for the round trip, (You can get off the bus at the waterfall and visit the English garden and the area with the fountains, and then get back on another bus when you are ready – they run about every 15 mins) which you get directly when you access the park after crossing through the Palace courtyard, saves a lot of walking in the less interesting part of the gardens (unless you are going for an all-day picnic)! I would also consider using the horse and carriage service for €50 for a 40 min ride up to the waterfall and back (but check first to see if they can leave you there first and then come and get you later). Most important is to check, when you buy your ticket, if the English garden is open and what time it closes, so that you can plan your visit to the Palace and gardens without disappointement. Once inside the garden there is an easy walking track around the perimeter and to a big pond with the most spectacular artificial waterfall which tumbles down the hillside into the magnificent fountain of Diana and Actean, is unique for Europe, and the whole project of the landscaping is well worth the visit, even before visiting the Royal Palace. To highly recommend. Total time needed for a visit to the gardens, the Palace, and (if you are lucky like I was, the Theatre, which is visitable at certain times and days – check before you go) is about 4 hours without time for eating (there is a restaurant next to the waterfall at the top of the garden.
