When in Rome... Enjoy a half-day tour of Ostia Antica offering a complete service, which includes Civitavecchia Port pick-up, drop off to either your hotel in Rome, Fiumicino Airport or back to the port, private driver and local guide.
From the port you'll head 25 kms southwest to Ostia Antica in an air-conditioned minivan. Enter into the archaeological site and your guide will give you insight into the fascinating history of the city through the well-preserved ruins. Learn how Ancient Rome relied on this thriving harbor city for commercial purposes, yet following the fall of the Roman Empire it was abandoned, buried and forgotten about, and ten centuries later it was rediscovered.
Wander around and see for yourself how the amphitheater, public baths, shops, homes, temples and more remain intact. Here you can get an idea how locals once lived centuries ago. For lovers of Roman history and those who can't make it to Pompeii, Ostia is the perfect alternative and easily accessible!
