Jump back in time under the layers of Ancient Rome!

The undergrounds of Rome preserve the secrets of the ruins of the ancient city beneath the  layers of a long and fascinating history. We will take you down to the subterraneans to explore the remains of ancient temples, dwellings of the early Romans, engineering marvels of the Empire, and relics of the first Christians.

Our kid-friendly guide will take your family through the most famous and interesting sites of Underground Rome. Both kids and parents will be engaged in scavenger hunts, quizzes and other playful activities to discover the treasures of the Crypt of the Capuchin friars and the Church of St. Clemens.

Our first stop takes you to the Museum and Crypt of Capuchins, where you will descend into the eerie depths adorned with human bones.
