The depth of the catacombs alone are awe inspiring. Get ready for the temperature change, it’s a great experience overall. No photos or video allowed inside though and there aren’t any skeletons. Even still it is well worth the trip.
Really nice place to visit. Was a little crowded but tickets were still available. Really interesting to hear the tourguide we had a lady who spook good english and was good to hear. Really interesting place. With allot of history. Nice park to walk toVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
I truly enjoyed it. There is a LOT to be seen underneath and the guided tour explains a lot about what happened underneath and the history. The tour ours in English was at a too quick pace but still allows you to take in the amount of labyrinth underneath. It's just well lit for the right ambience. Worth a shout if you haven't been inside a catacombe before.
Dec 2022. Walked down beneath the ground into the history of catacombs. I was saddened by the low mortality of ancient Rome but awed by the faith of Christianity that time. Getting here was no hassle at all. Alighted from metro Circo Massimo and travelled 9 stops on bus 118.
Worth a visit during hot days for a cool experience. Tickets can only be reserved online, not bought so you have to stand in line, not fun in 35C sunshine. Arrive in time, while we stood in line for our tickets our tour left so we had to wait for the next round in the heat. The tour itself is okay. Public transport bus ride here is as usual, they don’t keep timetables so expect to wait for the bus on a narrow road without sidewalks and fast cars passing by.
If you have never been in any catacombs before, you may enjoy this 30 minute tour for 10 euros, but our guide probably gave about 10 minutes of explanation in that 30 minutes. You don't actually get to see too much of it since the Catholic Church limits tours to 30 minutes. Very interesting how there is about 12 miles of catacombs that go three stories deep. Wished we could have seen and learned more. It is located on the Appian Way not too far outside the city of Rome. The Appian Way is the original Roman road that began an empire! Emperor Marcus Aurelius Palace remains his slightly down and across the street from the catacombs. He was the emperor defeated by Constantine in 312 BC, which led to the end of the persecution of Christians. Interesting that Christian catacombs were basically across the street from his Palace, but he was a more liberal emperor than his predecessors in allowing Christians some freedom of religion.
Set in the middle of a beautiful field with plenty of stunning backdrops for photos. The tour guides are informative and engaging. Tour takes about 45 minutes. Would highly recommend.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Interesting tour of one of the Christian catacombs. The total time includes virtual tour video of the ancient Roman venues and bus rides to and from to the catacombs. The actual time in the catacombs is about 30 minutes.
A little boring. No photos allowed inside, so these photos I found online. The Catacombs of St Callixtus are one of several catacombs on the Appian Way. The catacombs were in use from the 2nd to 4th century to clandestinely bury Christians when their religion was illegal in Rome. The catacombs fell into disuse in the 5th century when Christianity was legalized in the Roman Empire and Christians could be buried in public cemeteries. The catacombs were forgotten until they were rediscovered in 1854. The underground complex includes the Crypt of the Popes, which held 16 of the earliest popes. In the 9th century, the relics it contained were moved to various churches in Rome.
Interesting site, very different from the Parisian catacombs. Access is not particularly easy but we thought it was worth it, especially if combined with a walk further south along the Via Appia. Our guide was well informed and had lots of details to shareVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
