San Gennaro Catacombs Tickets: How to Book and What to Expect

The Catacombs of San Gennaro in Naples are visited in scheduled time slots, so the simplest way to secure your place is to book a ticket in advance. This guide explains how the ticket options differ and what to check before you book.

Ticket types

Options generally fall into two groups: entry tickets and guided visits. Guided visits explain the frescoes, basilicas and burial areas, and are the most popular choice. Each ticket on this site lists its guide, language and duration.

Why book ahead

Visits run at set times and groups are limited in size, so popular slots at weekends and in holiday periods can fill up. Booking ahead lets you choose the time that fits your day.

Before you confirm

Check the language of the visit, the meeting point and arrival time, the cancellation terms and any accessibility information on the booking page.
