Overview

Discover St. Peter's Basilica and the Underground Catacombs of Rome.
Before or after visiting the Catacombs with a Guided Tour, you can see the Basilica of St. Peters at your own pace with an audio guide.
St. Peter's Basilica is the largest in the world. This colossal basilica, erected on St. Peter's burial ground, houses many masterpieces by the most influential artists in art history. Marvel at Michelangelo's Pietà, Bernini's Baldachin, and the tombs of the Popes and St. Peter.
Discover the underground catacombs with a Guided Tour. Most of the Catacombs are located on the ancient Appian Way and are underground tunnels that branch out for dozens of kilometers. The Catacombs were the cemeteries of the early Christians who buried their dead and Popes here for centuries.
Pick up the audio guide and a paper map at the 'Portico' of St. Peter's Basilica and use it to discover its rich history. The audio guide is available in Italian, English, Spanish, and French from 9:00 am to 4.00 pm.
