What to expect

Ostia Antica archaeological park

This extensive archaeological park preserves one of the best-preserved Roman cities in Italy, about 30 minutes from Rome. You explore on foot with a guided tour in English that keeps the route clear and focused, while still leaving space to absorb the scale of the ancient port.

Features

• Walk real Roman streets lined with apartment blocks, baths, and taverns, and see how daily life in this former port city unfolded without the crowds you might find in Pompeii. Your guide points out key areas so you can imagine traffic, trade, and neighborhood life along these routes.
• Spend time at the Baths of Porta Marina, where original floor mosaics are still visible. The guide explains how these baths functioned in Roman times while you observe the surviving decoration underfoot.
• Visit the Square of the Corporations to see more preserved floor mosaics that marked different trading companies and their specialties, giving you a concrete sense of Ostia Antica’s commercial role.
• Stand inside the ancient theatre, which has been in use for roughly 2,000 years, and take in its stepped seating and stage area as your English-speaking guide describes how performances would have looked here.
• Benefit from a small-group format with a guided tour in English, which keeps questions easy to ask and ensures explanations remain understandable throughout the park.
• Travel logistics are simplified with round-trip train tickets from Rome to Ostia Antica included, and your entry to the Ostia Antica archaeological park covered as part of the English-speaking guided tour of the park.
