Hi all, I’m going to Rome next week and would like to visit Santa Costanza and Sant’Agnese Fuore le Mure. I’ve been there once, but it was 25 years ago, and I don’t remember anything about how I got there (bus I think), opening hours, etc. It seems to be obscure enough that I can’t find current info online. Thanks for any info!

Here is the English version of the information I think you're looking for:
https://www.santagnese.net/site/catacombs-mausoleum/
It has the tourist hours for access to the sites.
If these are the correct sites they are in Rome proper so I would look at Google maps - mass transit - to check in bus schedules and routes from wherever you're looking to stay in Rome.
Hope that helps,

PS Here is the main site: https://www.santagnese.net/site/ but I don't think there is an English option so using Google translate may be your best option unless your Italian is passable.

I used to live right down the street from there. The easiest way to get to the church is on the B1 metro line (Sant’Agnese - Annibaliano metro stop). Leave the station and walk in the uphill direction.
Alternatively, the 90 and 60 bus from Termini go right past there. I recommend getting off at the corner of Via Nomentana and Viale XXI Aprile.

Thank you, both Jeff and Tod!I I had found the St. Agnes’s site but not the English info, and the transport info is immensely helpful.

Hi there,
I'm planning a trip to Rome in June partially in order to see the Santa Costanza! Did you find information about hours or any dates that it's closed? I tried emailing the website but the email didn't go through.
Thanks so much.

Hours and closure dates are on the website:
https://www.santagnese.net/site/catacombs-mausoleum/
Santa Costanza is part of the greater monumental complex.
Also:
"Reservations for the guided tours of the Catacombs and the Monumental Complex can be made only by email (catacombe@santagnese.net) or online through the Omnia Vatican-Rome portal (PURCHASE button).
Telephone reservations are not accepted."
Editing to add: I do think it's interesting that there hasn't been any reviews on this complex on Trip Advisor since January of 2022 but that's maybe because it's further out than most visitors go.
