Highlights
Hidden just off Rome’s elegant Via Veneto, Between Life and Death offers a self-guided audio journey into one of the city’s most moving and unusual sites. Your experience begins in the Capuchin Museum, where religious art, historical documents, and everyday objects reveal the life and beliefs of the Capuchin Friars Minor—an order devoted to humility, contemplation, and service. The journey continues beneath the Church of Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini into the famous Capuchin Crypt. Here, the remains of thousands of friars are arranged in quiet, symbolic designs that speak not of fear, but of memento mori—a reminder of life’s fleeting nature and deeper meaning. With insightful narration and the freedom to explore at your own pace, this experience is ideal for travelers seeking a reflective, unforgettable alternative to traditional sightseeing.

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
