Capodichino airport is 25 km away. The ATC bus on the ‘Capua – S. Maria C.V. – Caserta – Napoli Aeroporto’ line reaches Caserta station, opposite the palace, in 25–40 minutes depending on the service. By taxi or pre-booked transfer it takes about half an hour.

On the A1 motorway, leave at Caserta Nord; on the A30, at Caserta Sud. Then follow the signs for the town centre and the Reggia.

For motorhomes, the official website suggests the Bosco di San Silvestro.
