Important Information

Last guided entries are often in late afternoon, but times vary by site and season; missing your slot may require rebooking or waiting for limited later availability.

Morning and late-afternoon visits are often more comfortable, with lighter crowd pressure and easier transport flow.

Advance booking is strongly recommended during weekends, holidays, and peak tourism months.

Standard city transport passes usually do not include catacomb admission, so verify exactly what your ticket bundle covers.
