Description
Discover Ostia Antica, one of Europe's most important archaeological sites on our small-group, semi-private tour from Rome. Skip-the-line admission tickets are included.
Ostia Antica Tour is not just a journey through history; it’s an escape from the busy and chaotic Rome.
Meet your guide at a central location and take a train to Ostia Antica bypassing the morning traffic. Skip the line and embark on this adventure through the ancient port town with your small group of curious travellers.
Wander through the ancient, well-preserved ruins, from marketplaces, shops and residential buildings to bathhouses and temples. Admire the mosaic floors of the ancient trade centre built 2000 years ago for global commerce. Visit an ancient theatre, where actors and gladiators once entertained crowds. Stroll down the main boulevard - Decumanus Maximus - lined with tavernas and shops. Uncover the first recorded firehouse in the Western World and learn more about the infrastructure of ancient Ostia. Finish your tour at the impressive ruins of the Forum and the largest bathhouse of Ostia Antica.
After the tour, you have a few options. You can ask your guide how to get to the beach and spend the rest of your day there, explore the site further on your own, or return to Rome with your guide.
