The Non-Catholic Cemetery for Foreigners in Rome is one of Europe’s oldest active burial grounds and is privately operated. Its main purpose is to provide a place of repose for those buried here and to allow their continued, respectful commemoration. One of the greatest challenges we face is to ensure a contemplative atmosphere appropriate for the loved ones of those who lay to rest.

Please note the Cemetery is not offering guided tours for the time being.

In recent years, the site has become increasingly popular among visitors and now requires all groups to be accompanied by a group leader or authorized tour guide. Please book well in advance and note that groups can include a maximum of 14 visitors (i.e. a total of 15 people per group). When cemetery activities permit, we can accommodate up to two groups in the morning and up to two in the afternoon. Kindly fill in the following form and wait to receive a personalized response which will state whether or not we can accommodate your request.

In order to guarantee the right conditions for funerals and cemetery activities, groups will not be admitted into the Cemetery unless they have booked in advance and have received confirmation for their booking. Groups will not be allowed to disband into smaller clusters to visit the site on an individual basis.

We kindly request a voluntary contribution of five euros (per visitor), which may be paid on site to Cemetery staff and goes directly to offsetting the operating costs of the Cemetery.

We are unable to accept phone queries about bookings for group visits and ask group leaders/authorized tour guides to use the following form to book two to three weeks in advance. As the needs of the Cemetery are our top priority, office staff is on duty Monday through Friday and can take over a week to reply. We appreciate your patience and thank you for honoring our mission.

N.B. Space for group visits is highly limited. If you cannot make your scheduled booking, please inform us as soon as possible by contacting: mail@cemeteryrome.it. Group leaders who do not respect their appointments may be denied bookings in the future.
