Frequently asked questions

Clear answers to the most common questions travelers ask before booking this experience.

Booking FAQs

Wear comfortable walking shoes — the catacombs have uneven surfaces and narrow paths. Carry a light jacket, as temperatures underground stay cool year-round.

Photography and videography are strictly prohibited inside the catacombs to preserve the site.

Be prepared for around 50 uneven steps without seating or elevator access. Please note: the tour is not wheelchair accessible and may be challenging for those with mobility issues.

Arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled time slot for check-in. Dress modestly — shoulders and knees must be covered, as the sites hold religious significance. The catacombs of Domitilla are closed on Tuesday.
