Gaia, the forthcoming astrometric ESA survey, is expected to substantially improve our knowledge about the distances to galactic planetary nebulae (PNe). We present an overview of Gaia mission and focus in some aspects which are relevant for the study of PNe. In particular, we present our simulations on Gaia spectrophotometric observations obtained by means of GOG (Gaia Object Generator) for a catalogue of proto-PNe and PNe (Suárez et al. 2006) which can be used as templates to classify and study the suitability of Gaia spectrophotometry to infer physical properties of the sources.
