Catacombe di San Callisto

Breeze past ticket lines and dive into this 19km underground maze with a guide who unpacks its deep history and spiritual significance.

Discover why these catacombs are nicknamed the "Little Vatican"—home to the tombs of 16 popes and countless early Christian martyrs.

Observe the centuries old ancient frescoes and burial chambers, each telling a story of early Christian faith and artistic evolution.

Hop on an air-conditioned coach with your guide for a relaxing ride along the historic Appian Way.

As you step into tunnels built over 2 milennia ago, admire early Christian symbols and frescoes inscribed on marble loculi behind which the dead rest.

Hear fascinating myths, facts, and legends from your guide in your preferred language.

On Wednesdays, visit the Catacombs of Domitilla instead and see some of the most elaborately decorated tombs on the Appian Way.

Get easy transfers in an open-top bus from city centre to the catacombs located on the outskirts. Skip the ticket lines at the entrance, making this one of the easiest ways to explore the underground sites.

Tours are available in multiple languages: English, French, Spanish, German, or Italian.

Visit St. Callixtus (except Wednesdays) or Domitilla (except Tuesdays) catacombs with a licensed guide who shares the stories of early Christians buried here.

Add on a visit to the Capuchin Crypt and see the skeletons of the Capuchin friars, earning the crypt its famous moniker the 'Bone Chapel'.

Group size is capped at 25, making it easier to follow and engage, even underground.

Note: The Capuchin Crypt will be toured independently, although an audio guide will be provided for context.
