I must say that when we saw that this was on the purple route on our Big Bus tour, I was initially reluctant. But this place is fascinating and incredibly interesting. The tour starts with you walking downstairs under the gift shop & you suddenly find yourself in a church, that is underground. After lighting a candle & thinking of my family in the semi-underground basilica we ventured on to a section of the 17 km of galleries and corridors that are set over four different levels that are the catacombs. Having held over 150,000 burials, this is a very tightly packed underground cemetery, with many twists and turns. Thankfully you're following a tour guide, as it would be very easy to get hopelessly lost down there & end up starring in your very own horror film. Having said that, it's not even remotely creepy but it is dark and if you're claustrophobic, this is not the place for you. It's a fascinating and a very impressive place where you can also see the earliest examples of Christian art dating back to the late 2nd century. Do remember that the catacombs are set 16 metres underground, so it's chilly down there - unless it's the summer then it'll be the best place to be! Highly recommended.
