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.
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.
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.
Very nice replica. Looks good.
