Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Ostia Antica, Ostia Antica, Province of Rome, Lazio
Our Ostia Antica tour takes you to discover the endless mysteries of one of the most interesting archaeological parks in the world. Surrounded by umbrella pines and cypress trees, Ostia Antica is home to wonderful mosaic floors, frescoes, statues and majestic buildings, amazingly intact even today.
Come face to face with the amazing treasures of Ostia Antica today, before they are discovered by the tourists crowds tomorrow. Just half an hour from Rome by train, lie the vast ruins of Ostia Antica, the Harbor City of Ancient Rome, that rivals Pompeii for its size and impressive state of preservation. Ostia Antica is the perfect day trip from Rome, with so much to see and explore, and a dreamlike, peaceful atmosphere. Escape from the crowds and wander through the majestic ruins of Ostia Antica, for a relaxed stroll through ancient villas and gardens, learning about the daily lives of the people who lived and worked here.
You’ll have the opportunity to climb the rows of the beautiful ancient theatre, admiring breathtaking views of the ruins - an atmospheric, Ancient Roman ghost town. In the bars, baths, bakeries and brothels you can still see ancient mosaics, and as you explore these buildings, you’ll get a real sense of what it must have been like to live in a Roman town.
