The San Gaudioso combo ticket: both Naples catacombs, one price
How the two catacombs differ
The Catacombs of San Gennaro are grand and frescoed — two wide levels, early-Christian art and the patron saint’s tomb. The Catacombs of San Gaudioso, beneath the Sanità basilica, are smaller and stranger: this is where you see the famous seditoi — the macabre 17th-century “draining seats” and skull-and-fresco burials of Neapolitan nobles. Together they tell the full story of how Naples buried its dead.

Because the combo is valid for 12 months, you don’t have to rush both into one afternoon. Many visitors do San Gennaro on arrival and San Gaudioso on another day with the Sanità district in between.

Frequently asked questions
What is the San Gaudioso combo ticket?
A single ticket covering guided tours of both the Catacombs of San Gennaro and the Catacombs of San Gaudioso. It stays valid for 12 months, so the two visits don’t have to be on the same day.
Are the two catacombs in the same place?
No, but they’re close — both are in the Rione Sanità, about a five-minute walk apart. San Gennaro is on Via Capodimonte; San Gaudioso is under the Santa Maria della Sanità basilica. See how to get there.
Is the combo worth it?
If you have a spare hour, yes — the two catacombs are genuinely different, and the combo costs little more than a single site. See the cost breakdown.
