Can you visit the Catacombs without booking?
You can turn up directly at the ticket office, but the number of places is limited and the wait can be long — or disappointing if slots are sold out. Last-minute tickets booked online offer a much more reliable alternative: you see the remaining slots in real time and get instant confirmation.
How to get a ticket today
- Check real-time availability online
- Pick the first free slot of the day
- Receive your mobile ticket instantly
- Show up at the stated time, no queue
Tips to maximise your chances
Last-minute slots go fast, especially in peak season. Check availability early in the morning, stay flexible on timing and consider weekdays, which are generally quieter. If no slot is available for today, booking for tomorrow is often the best solution.
