Most memorable place I've visited in Rome! It may seem like 30mins is short tour, but it will leave you guessing for many days after this visit. Follow your guide and don't get lost!

A must see, part of the "Dark Rome" tour. Amazing underground burial site, you'll be amazed at the size and depth of it. Then when you realize this is one of about 69 catacombs in the area...

The tour takes 1 hr and costs 10 eur, gift shop and snack vending machines available. It shuts for 2 hrs over lunchtime so check before you arrive - lovely, different experience

These are Rome's largest catacombs. Buried in the 29km (18 miles) of tunnels were nine popes (venerated in a chapel known as il piccolo Vaticano), dozens of martyrs and thousands of Christians.

Been here 100+ times
The catacombs of St. Callixtus are among the greatest and most important of Rome.They originated about the middle of the second century and are part of a cemeterial complex which occupies an area of.

A must-see, with oodles of bones and tunnels. Closed from 12-2PM. Guided tours by language is €8. The French guide is best & most knowledgeable. Enjoy.

A historical place. Be prepared for a cooler and dark ambient because you will descend several meters below. It is closed on Wednesdays and during the 12-2pm lunchbreak.

Unfortunately only guided tours allowed, so your dependable on starting time of your language. :-(

From Giovanni take a 218 bus. Pay fee for 1.50€. Entrance for English speaking tour is 8€ and you must have exact amount of money. (29/11/2012)

By all means take the French guide, even if you don't speak French. He's the best!

Very interesting and educational tour. It is well worth a see.

It's estimated that this place has existed for around 2,000 years. Considered as one of the most important Roman Catacombs, this is where you'll see deep tunnel complexes.

From Stazione Termini take Metro A (Anagnina) or bus 714 (Palazzo Sport) to the stop at St. John Lateran Square (Piazza di S. Giovanni in Laterano), then bus 218 and stop at Fosse Ardeatine. Read more

Fatal los medios de transporte para llegar hasta aquí siendo un lugar de tanta afluencia de turistas. La visita es genial y los Salesianos la tienen muy bien preparada con sentido cristiano
JesbosJanuary 4, 2014
Espectaculares!! Vale la pena entrar por la puerta más cerca al centro de Roma y caminar entre cipreses 1 km por el interior del recinto, antes de llegar a las taquillas.
Cristina MálagoMarch 27, 2014
Espectacular excavación. El guía español, Alberto, muy majo y atento, hay que ir abrigado. 8e la entrada, el tour dura media hora.
Enrique VillaAugust 5, 2022
Lugar muy interesante, te lleva a imaginar el tiempo que estuvo en su ocupación maxima
Irene ZamoraDecember 30, 2013
La visita dura una media hora, la guía en español es una chica muy simpática y abajo hace bastante frío, conviene ir abrigado. Los buses que van allí son el 118 o el 218, no hay mucha frecuencia.
Óscar J. BaezaOctober 5, 2014
Las mejores catacumbas de Roma, pero la duración es de tan sólo 30 minutos, incluida la explicación inicial. Algo decepcionante.
Isacar MarínSeptember 4, 2013
Hay guías en español, lo hacen muy bien. Ten cuidado con el autobús, pasan cada rato y es algo complicado de entender.
Erick SaenzNovember 11, 2015
Excelente lugar, es un viaje al pasado y a lo que vivieron los primeros cristianos.
Marilyn DocquierAugust 27, 2015
C'est bien d'en voir une mais ne les faites pas toutes. Un peu trop touristique et le guide débite son texte en 30 min top chrono. Un peu dommage. On se sent "pressé".
Gloss FelliniDecember 20, 2012
Me encantó esta visita. La guia de español era una chica joven que además de explicar genial era simpatiquísima.
