What is “Rome Underground,” really?

Beneath Rome’s familiar piazzas and churches lies a hidden city of carved tunnels, buried stadiums, ancient aqueducts, and layered temples that reveal how Rome was built, rebuilt, and repurposed over 2,000 years.

From gladiator holding chambers under the Colosseum to Claudius-era canals beneath Trevi, this is a more secret and surprising Rome that remains incredibly well preserved right under your feet.

The place itself was breathtaking as was the information given to our group by our guide. An in depth knowledge, great humour and an all round mood lifter.

Our tour guide David was FANTASTIC! This was, hands down, the best tour we had during our 16 day tour of Italy, Greece and Turkey. The information provided was historically accurate and flavored with a strong sense of humor. David's crowd management strategies allowed us to get amazing photo ops as well as have direct observation of crowd psychology. We can't say enough positive things about this experience but would gladly make the trip back from Alaska in a heartbeat if it included another tour led by David.

I have been to the catacombs and I must say that the impact is remarkable, an immersion in real history, not the history of books. The thing that impressed me most, however, was the guide. A young girl, very knowledgeable, who did not just repeat the usual notions. She explained the historical contexts and symbologies superbly, with an analytical clarity that made you connect the dots immediately. Truly a professional who enhances the site, making the tour educational and engaging. Next, I visited the Crypt of the Capuchin Friars with the attached museum. The entire museum tour, supported by an excellent audio guide, provides a basic background on the Order, before getting to the core. The Crypt itself is a work of extreme symbolism: the use of bones as a decorative element is not a macabre gesture, but a tangible and very powerful meditation on the transience of matter and the eternity of the soul. A heavy concept, but expressed with a theatricality that forces you to reflect. In short, it was an experience that goes far beyond a mere tourist attraction. I absolutely recommend it: it is a fascinating, historically relevant and conceptually stimulating trip. A must-see.

As we bought our tickets in advance, we were able to skip a long queue. We got the audio guides and headphones straight away without queuing and then we were off. The audio guide was great. At the beginning we went through a long gallery. The audio guide explained special paintings and exhibits well. It was also quite interesting. At the end, we went into the crypt. We finished there relatively quickly, but the trip was definitely worth it. Very interesting and worth seeing.

⚡Quickfire Rome Underground Q&A⚡

Is “Rome Underground” one place or many? Many! It’s a network of different hidden sites, from buried stadiums and pagan temples to crypts and early Christian churches.

What to expect at Rome Underground

1/8

Go under the busy streets of modern Rome

Begin in today’s lively piazzas, then follow the descent into hidden layers of history. With each staircase or vaulted entryway, the hum of traffic fades and the sound of your footsteps takes over. The air grows cool and still, carrying centuries of memory.

Discover the Stadium of Domitian beneath Piazza Navona

Walk under the famous square to explore the remains of Rome’s first stone stadium, once alive with roaring crowds. The audio guide brings its 1st-century arches and corridors to life, showing how this ancient arena became the foundation for Baroque Rome above.

Trace ancient neighborhoods beneath the Trevi District

At Vicus Caprarius, step into the preserved ruins of an imperial apartment block and the aqueduct that once fed the Trevi Fountain. Hear the trickle of ancient water and picture how this hidden world sustained everyday Roman life nearly 2,000 years ago.

Descend through three eras at the Basilica di San Clemente

Move from a 12th-century church to a 4th-century basilica, and further still to a 1st-century Mithraic temple. The frescoes and inscriptions reveal how pagan worship gave way to early Christianity, forming a vertical timeline of faith.

Experience the Capuchin Crypt’s haunting art

In dim chapels fashioned from monks’ bones, symbols of mortality turn into devotion. The audio guide explains how each pattern and chapel honors the cycle of life, echoing reflections on death found in Rome’s earliest catacombs.

Experience world's largest ancient amphitheater's backstage

Join a guided tour that takes you beneath the arena floor into the labyrinth of tunnels and chambers where gladiators once waited for their turn to fight. Then stand on the reconstructed arena itself and look up at the vast amphitheater, seeing the Colosseum from the same perspective as those who once took center stage.

Choose your path below the Eternal City

Explore independently with multilingual audio guides or join a small-group walking tour. Each site adds a new chapter to Rome’s buried story. Allow about 2–3 hours to visit multiple sites and witness how the city quite literally grew upon its own past.

Join a paranormal night walking tour & secret backstreets

As night falls, follow your guide through quiet backstreets and candlelit piazzas where legends and ghost stories come to life. Hear tales of restless spirits, unsolved mysteries, and ancient curses that linger beneath the Eternal City, adding a final, atmospheric layer to your underground adventure.
