Explore Rome’s Catacombs with a guide, visit the bone-decorated Capuchin Crypt, and see the city aboard a panoramic bus.
Descend beneath Rome’s streets to explore ancient burial tunnels, then see a striking Baroque chapel decorated with human bones. This Rome Catacombs and Capuchin Crypt tour pairs a guided underground visit with an audio-guided stop at the Capuchin Crypt and a panoramic bus ride through the city.
Begin at Touristation Aracoeli and travel by bus to the Catacombs. A guide leads you through the underground passages and shares their history as burial places and sites of worship for early Christians. The Catacombs visited depend on the day: Domitilla is included except on Tuesday, when the visit is to Callisto. Afterward, a transfer takes you near a hop-on hop-off bus stop. Continue to the Capuchin Crypt, where an audio guide lets you explore at your own pace. Inside the Museum of the Capuchin Friars, discover five chapels decorated with the remains of nearly 4,000 friars. Your ticket also includes a 3-hour panoramic bus tour, giving you a flexible way to see Rome’s landmarks.
The Rome Catacombs and Capuchin Crypt tour brings together underground history, unusual art, and city views in one outing. Wear clothing that covers your shoulders and knees, and book your visit to experience Rome from below and above.
