Things to know before booking your tickets

  • All tickets to the Catacombs are timed, requiring you to select an available time slot for your visit. While this system reduces crowding, expect potential delays of up to 2–3 hours during peak seasons due to security checks or early arrivals.
  • Tickets must be booked online, as they are not sold at the venue. With a limit of only 200 visitors allowed inside at any time, booking at least 7 days in advance is highly recommended, especially during summer or other busy periods when last-minute tickets are rarely available.
  • If you prefer to explore at your own pace, choose the self-guided audio tour. Available in multiple languages, the 30-minute narration can be paused and resumed at your convenience.
  • For those looking to delve deeper into the Catacombs' history, a guided tour is an excellent option, which also give skip-the-line entry. These tours provide expert insights from a local English-speaking guide and grant access to special areas that are off-limits to general visitors.
  • The Catacombs are located 65 feet underground and require navigating 131 steps down and 112 steps up. Visitors will walk a 1.5-kilometer trail through narrow, dimly lit, and slippery tunnels. The experience is unsuitable for wheelchair users and for visitors with limited mobility, respiratory issues, or claustrophobia.
  • Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. The eerie atmosphere of the Catacombs may be unsettling for young children, so discretion is advised for families.

Note: Public tours cover a 1.5-kilometer section of the Catacombs. For your safety and to preserve the site, venturing into unauthorized areas is strictly prohibited.
