Catacombs, Appian Way and Roman Basilicas Private Tour
Following the footsteps of St. Peter to this district, home to the warm spirited catacombs and the tombs built by the most wealthy and famous families in Rome, the Appian Way, known as the Queen of Roads, is the first world’s highway. It is dated 312 BC and was the starting point for Roman traders and warriors but it was also flanked by mausoleums and the unmissable Christian Catacombs. Persecution of many Christian martyrs under pagan Emperors, whose bones, once buried underground, became objects of veneration.

Where this sits in Rome
Rome is about 33 min by road from Rome Fiumicino Airport. Three thousand years stacked on top of each other, still busy being a capital. Stay central and walk — the Forum, the Pantheon and a dozen churches worth the detour are closer together than the map suggests, and the city rewards wandering more than ticking off.
