# The Corso Giannone entrance, straight into the Royal Park

The palace has two entrances. The main one is in Piazza Carlo di Borbone, opposite the railway station; the Corso Giannone entrance opens straight onto the Royal Park and has had its own ticket office since 1 October 2026.

## In brief

-   Corso Giannone takes you straight into the Royal Park, and you can see just as much as from the main entrance.
-   The ticket office has been open since 1 October 2026; in November and December its hours are 8:30 to 14:30.
-   For the palace, park and English Garden the official website recommends Piazza Carlo di Borbone; for the park and English Garden only, Corso Giannone.
-   Cyclists can only enter from Corso Giannone.

## Two entrances, the same visit

|  | Piazza Carlo di Borbone | Corso Giannone |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Where | Opposite the station, in the middle of the façade | On the park side, towards the town centre |
| Ticket office | 8:30–18:00 | Hours change with the month |
| Free Sunday tickets | Park and Apartments, Park only | Park only, without the English Garden |
| Bicycles | Not allowed | The only entrance for bikes |
| Access for people with disabilities | Priority entrance |  |
| ArteCard Campania | Holders must enter here |  |

The palace website explains that choosing one entrance or the other does not change the route of your visit. What changes is the distance: from Piazza Carlo di Borbone you go into the palace and come out into the park through the Cannocchiale, the passage that runs through the building; from Corso Giannone you are among the trees of the park straight away.

## Corso Giannone ticket office hours

| Month | Ticket office open |
| --- | --- |
| January | 8:30–15:00 |
| February | 8:30–15:30 |

| April–September | 8:30–18:00 |
| October | 8:30–16:30 |

Closed on Tuesdays, like the rest of the palace. If you already have an online ticket with a time slot, you go in according to the park’s opening hours.

## Frequently asked questions

### ### If I go in from Corso Giannone, can I visit the Royal Apartments?

### ### Is the Corso Giannone ticket office open on Tuesdays?

No. The palace is closed on Tuesdays, and so are all the ticket offices.

### ### Can I go in by bike?
