You can access both, but you have to do this one first. Then you get a coupon to do the smaller one over the next year. For travelers, they should tell you this, but they don’t and we found out the hard way by trying to use our purchased ticket at the other one and we’re turned away until we had a printout from the place where we bought our original tickets.

From the official website: An experience accessible to all The Catacombs of San Gennaro are the only site of their kind in the world that is fully accessible. In 2009 a decision was made, together with the Tutti a Scuola association, to remove all the architectural barriers and to create walkways and ramps, so that the site could be accessible to everyone.
