Rome Ostia Antica Tour 4 hr

Step beyond Rome’s familiar landmarks and wander the streets of Ostia Antica, the ancient port where goods arrived from across the empire and Romans once escaped for a seaside holiday. Often called Rome’s Pompeii, this remarkably evocative archaeological site offers a glimpse of everyday life in the ancient world.

Meet your guide outside Porta San Paolo station, next to Piramide Metro station, and look for an orange sign bearing a lion head. Travel to Ostia Antica and explore its remains with an expert local guide. As you walk through the abandoned streets, discover traces of a thriving port town founded in the seventh century BC. In the later Republic, Ostia grew into a lively destination with hotels, bars, and brothels. Entry to the sites and transport to and from the tour are included, while time among the ruins brings the town’s layered past into focus.

Choose this Rome Ostia Antica Tour for a rewarding change of pace from the city’s best-known sights. Follow the stories of its former residents and see why this ancient port feels less lost than simply waiting to be rediscovered.
