    Catacombs of Priscilla

    What to expect

    This visit focuses entirely on the Catacombs of Priscilla, an underground early Christian burial site in Rome. You move through dim corridors and chambers while your guide explains the setting and usage of the catacombs during different periods.

    Features

    • With your entrance ticket to the Catacombs of Priscilla, you access the underground areas open to visitors and follow a fixed route through selected corridors and rooms. The climate remains cool and enclosed, and baby strollers are not permitted inside.

    • A guided tour of the Catacombs of Priscilla is included, led by a live tour guide available in English, French, Spanish, or Italian, depending on the option you select at booking. The guide shapes the route and commentary so you can focus on the experience rather than logistics.

    • Your guide describes key visual details along the way and explains them before you reach areas where no photography is allowed, so you can pay attention without using a camera. Commentary helps you interpret carvings, niches, and layout in the context of early Christian burial practices.

  • What’s not allowed

    • Baby strollers: Do not bring baby strollers, as they are not allowed inside the catacombs.

    • Photography: Do not take photos inside, as photography is not permitted.
