Catacombs of Rome
the world of underground tombs
There are over 60 catacombs in Rome, but only a few are open to the public. To be precise, there are six catacombs that can be visited in Rome: The catacombs of San Callisto, San Sebastiano, Santa Domitilla, Priscilla, Sant’Agnese and Marcellino and Pietro. We have already visited 4 of them!

THE CATACOMBS OF
MARCELLINUS AND PETRUS
My Rating:
The positives:
Tours in English run daily (except Thursdays) at 11.00 a.m. and 4.00 p.m.!
The negatives:
You cannot visit the catacombs spontaneously, you have to book your visit ahead.
Tip:
The best of the 4 catacombs!

THE CATACOMBS OF
Santa Domitilla
My Rating:
The Positives:
A real jewel is the underground basilica.
The Negatives:
Those who come spontaneously have to wait until they can join a tour...
Tip:
... so it's better to book in advance ;)
Extra tip for groups: Those who would like to celebrate a Eucharist can do so with advance notice.

THE CATACOMBS OF
SAN SEBASTIAN
My Rating:
The Positives:
Very easy to reach. Very well-preserved tombs.
The Negatives:
As in all catacombs, it is very dark. Sometimes a torch would be quite helpful. Luckily, there are smartphones. ;)
Tip:
The guided tours always take place "as needed" in different languages.

A little foretaste!
Would you like to take a look inside one or the other of the catacombs?
Even though it is not allowed to film or take photos downstairs, directly in the catacombs… (It is allowed in the museum area) we have violated this rule a liiiiiiittle bit and prepared this little recording for you!
Have fun!
