Ostia Antica Walking Tour

Escape the bustle of Rome for the evocative ruins of Ostia Antica, where ancient streets still trace the rhythms of Roman life. On this guided walk, follow the Cardo and Decumanus, the main roads paved with original Roman stone, and explore corners that bring the city’s past into focus.

Your guide adds humor and lesser-known details that written guides often miss, sharing insights into local habits and everyday life. Ostia continued to prosper for centuries after Pompeii was buried in 79 AD, and its archaeological park offers a vivid setting for discovering that history on foot. Meet at the archaeological site's ticket office, where the tour also ends. The entrance ticket and train tickets are not included, so plan those separately, and wear comfortable shoes for the walk.

Choose this Ostia Antica walking tour for an engaging look at the ancient city beyond the usual Rome itinerary. Let a knowledgeable guide lead you through its most atmospheric streets and stories.
