Overview

Explore the amazing ancient port town of Ostia Antica on a private day trip from Rome, just forty minutes away by train. Walk in the footsteps of the ancient Romans as you wander around the now empty streets, step inside their apartments and villas, and visit the bathhouses, the necropolis, basilicas and town squares, fast food restaurants, temples, and even the public toilets in this vast archaeological park spanning over 10,000 acres, that some claim to be "better than Pompeii"!

On your private tour you will:

Meet your guide in central Rome and travel together by train - the fastest way to reach the ruins.
Explore the incredibly well-preserved city of Ostia Antica (Ancient Ostia).
Find out about what life was like for Ostia's residents 2000 years ago.

What To Expect

Ostia Antica

Swap the noisy traffic of metropolitan Rome for the ancient streets of Ostia, an ancient Roman port town just outside the city. Nearly all of the old town has been fully excavated, so the site is a great example of an ancient Roman town with shops, taverns and a theatre for ordinary citizens. It is full of beautiful art and architecture that offers a real insight into daily life in the Empire. Ostia was extremely important to Rome from the time of the Republic, and retained that importance throughout the Imperial period. Located at the mouth of the Tiber, most imports to Rome passed through its port (ostium means ‘mouth’). Remnants of the striking structures of the port can still be viewed in the town today.
