About

It’s a Parisian cultural highlight, but only 200 people are allowed into the catacombs at any one time – and with lines reaching around the block, spots run out fast.

Take advantage of this ticket that gives you fast-track access to the Catacombs of Paris with a small group. Explore parts of the catacombs that are usually closed to the public. Special underground gates will be unlocked just for you, and a guide will tell you all about the lives of the catacomb’s six million inhabitants.

  • English Guided Tour
  • Special access to parts of the catacombs closed off to the general public
