Guided visit, audio guide visit and a Rione Sanità walk that includes the Ipogeo entry, with live prices and dates. Check which option includes the Ipogeo before you book.
Guided visit or audio guide
Same place, different pace. Both run inside the same tomb complex.
| Option | Price 2026 | Reduced | Duration | Languages |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Guided visit | EUR 18 | EUR 14 | about 40 minutes | Italian, English, French, Spanish |
| Audio guide | EUR 12 | EUR 10 | about 30 minutes | 15 languages, including Italian, English, German |
For most visitors the guided visit is the better choice: a guide explains the paintings and the tombs and answers questions. Take the audio guide if you want the shortest visit, a lower price or a language the guides do not offer, such as German. Online prices may start from these amounts, so check the final total when you book.
Booking and time windows
Choose the type of visit and then a date and time window in the online calendar. Daily visitor numbers are limited, so popular days can fill up. A calendar that shows free places does not guarantee a place on the day you want, so book before you fix other plans.
Booking ahead is the safe choice. If your dates are flexible, pick a weekday in the morning window and keep a second day free.
Opening hours
Regular visiting windows are Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 15:00. Monday is not a regular visiting day. Check the calendar for the exact windows on your date.
Reduced rates, children and free entry
- Reduced: for students and people over 70, among others. Bring proof.
- Children under 8: not allowed inside.
- Ages 8 to 12: free entry.
- Other free categories: residents of the Rione Sanità, people with disabilities, licensed guides and supporting sponsors.
Stairs, access and what to wear
The entrance is a small stairway inside a historic palazzo. Step-free access is not assured. If you have a disability, contact the operator before you book. Underground it is cooler than outside, so wear warm, comfortable clothes and take a jacket and a hat.
Walks and combination tours that include the Ipogeo
Two kinds of bookable tour include the Ipogeo entry: a walk through the Rione Sanità with a local guide, and a tour of the underground city that also visits Purgatorio ad Arco and the Neapolis Sotterrata excavations. For the underground city tour, ask the provider about Ipogeo availability before you pay.
Other Sanità tours, such as the Holy Mile walk or a Fontanelle tour, do not include the Ipogeo. Read what each option includes before booking. Our page on the Rione Sanità explains the district and its routes.
What the Ipogeo ticket does not include
The Ipogeo ticket is only for the Ipogeo. The Catacombs of San Gennaro, the Catacombs of San Gaudioso, the Fontanelle Cemetery and Naples Underground have their own entrances, operators and tickets. Read about the tombs themselves on the history page.
