Roman catacombs

This is an interesting visit. The site is only accessible through a one hour guided tour, in Dutch. It’s an identical replica of the catacombs in Rome, but in shortened space. Don’t get me wrong this place is still massive. Be sure to wear pants and a sweater or jacket. It’s an an old mine so it’s cold and dark in there.

Great tour! A very impressive replica of some of the Roman tombs and fresco's in Rome.
Our tourguide Ben was very entertaining.
Serious history but also nice jokes.
He knows his stuff.
We recommend this tour!

Absolutely amazing and so happy I visited. I honestly can’t believe that these were build purely as a flex and not to actually use, they have done an amazing job at making this replica and I hope it gets more popular over time as I left extremely impressed :) The guide was also very very knowledgable and could speak many languages :)

Great experience, quite impressive! At this museum they gathered the best of all Catacombs from Rome and made from it a master work. The guide who walked us was a very nice and experienced lady, with tons of knowledge about archaeology and history. Be prepared: temperature is always 12 Celsius and it can feel very cold. At the museum they can borrow you a jacket but it's better to bring your own.

Impressive! Super nice guide, would recommend!

We got a really good tour. It was so interesting.

On our way to Aachen we decided to make a quick stop at the Roman catacombs. Entrance fee is euro 12,50, but if you have a museum card it is free. We were a cosy group of 10 people and had a tour from a friendly and well informed man. It was very cool to see what the Dutch could replicate from the origin Roman catacombs in Rome. Oh, and it's cold down there, so bring a something warm, especially in winter.

Strange place and a good guide. A copy of the roman catacombs in Rome.

Amazing place and our guide did his most best to speak english we got it together hsd a great time and learned lots

Great place for a quick hour visit .the guide is super fun to go around with .bring a jacket,it's cold :)

Very strange place - roman catacombs in NL but yes, it's interesting nice excursion! If you are in the neighbourhood you should go!

This was a very interesting tour, which was offered in several languages. Ours was only in English by choice. This did offer more time to see more of the catacombs.

Its origin, and use during the war and the explanation given by the guide were all quite interesting to learn.

If you have an hour and a bit to spare, and don't dislike history it's strongly recommended that you visit! Do mind that flash photography is prohibited, so if you want to go there for documentation get good equipment.

Super awesome!
The guide was absolutely amazing, had a lot of information to tell and told it in such an interesting way. Really great guy. He summarized everything for the few english people in english each time. His english was good.

The tour was one hour and 15 minutes long but it felt like only half an hour. Couldve listened to the guide talk for another hour.

Quite impressive how the whole thing was build and to hear the history of the romans and religions etc. These are replicas ofcourse, but still interesting to see.

Recommend going here for sure! One of the best tours in Valkenburg.

Super museum!!! Must go to place !

Interested in history? Want to get away from the tourist hustle and bustle of Valkenburg? This is the place. Lovely recreations of Roman catacombs make for a unique experience. Friendly staff too! Highly recommended.

Really surprising tour, lots of interesting information, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide.

It's not so much tombes that were made by the romans as it's an exact(!) replica of the most interesting and beautiful tombes from the outskirts of Rome.

"Roman"? Not really, these caves were dug in 1911 ish.

I would recommend this place, the tour guide explained everything so well (in English) and with so much enthusiasm. I learned a lot!

Built in the early 1900's modeled after the catacombs in Rome.
