For those who love trains, there is now a special tour to take while visitng Rome and the Vatican: tourists will be able to take a train to locations formerly closed to the public, including the Vatican’s Apostolic Palace and papal villas outside of Rome, thanks to an agreement between the Vatican Museums and Italy’s state railway carrier F.S. Italiane.
The train service will take visitors from the historic Vatican Station to inside the Papal States and on towards Castel Gandolfo and Albano Laziale outside of Rome, where papal villas are located. The pontifical villas, for a century inaccessible secret summer papal residences, will be open to the public and arriving by train, the most ‘of the people’ and democratic mode of transport.
