  • Go on a tour of the Roman Catacombs and the Capuchin Crypt

Tour Details

This exclusive journey takes you to some of Rome's most interesting sights, starting at the Touristation office. A panoramic bus will then take you to the Catacombs for an underground tour, revealing their role as both a burial site and sacred refuge for Rome's earliest Christians. After the Catacombs, a dedicated transfer will take you directly to the famous Capuchin Crypt on Via Veneto. With an audioguide in hand, see this intriguing fusion of Baroque art and an eerie atmosphere at your own pace.

Located near Piazza Barberini, this cryptic chapel, known as "the Bone Chapel," nestled within a museum next to the Baroque Santa Maria della Concezione church, offers a uniquely chilling experience.
