About this experience
Step outside Rome and discover Ostia Antica, the ancient seaport and one of Italy’s most atmospheric archaeological parks. Walk along stone-paved streets and shaded paths lined with maritime pines, where mosaics, shopfronts, and public buildings make Roman life easy to imagine.
Your entry ticket and private round-trip transfer from Rome are included, so there’s no need to plan trains or connections
Inside the site, explore from Porta Romana toward the Forum, passing the Roman Theatre, the Baths of Neptune and the Square of the Corporations with its black-and-white mosaic “logos.” See the city’s everyday spaces too: insulae, mills, a thermopolium, and large horrea, plus villas, shops, and ancient streets.
Upgrade to add a private licensed guide for deeper insight and storytelling. Return to Rome is at the agreed time with your driver.
