What are the Capuchin Crypt rules?

Shoulders and knees must be covered, because the crypt is a sacred place. You visit it through the museum, on one entry.

  • Dress Keep shoulders and knees covered in the crypt.
  • One entry A ticket gives one entry and no re-entry. The crypt can't be visited without the museum.
  • Bags Large bags go in the free lockers.
  • Food and water No food or drink in the exhibition rooms, except one bottle of water.
  • Photos Allowed for private, non-commercial use.
  • Passes Roma Pass, Turbo Pass, MiC Card and ICOM cards aren't accepted.
  • Refunds Tickets can't be refunded, resold or used on another date.
  • Children Under-18s are advised to enter the crypt with an adult.
  • Access A lift reaches the first-floor museum. The crypt has three low steps and an original floor, so visitors in wheelchairs enter with a companion's help, and motorised wheelchairs aren't allowed.

What that means on the day

  • Pack a light layer for summer so bare shoulders are no problem.
  • Bring a card or cash, and ID for any reduced ticket.
  • Arrive before last entry, not at closing: after closing time, a valid ticket won't get you in.
