Tickets to Ostia Antica Archeological Park

Explore Rome’s ancient port city at your own pace, with access to the archaeological park and eight days to return after first entry.

Getting started

Head to the Archaeological Area of Ostia Antica at Viale dei Romagnoli 717 in Rome. Use your ticket for entry and begin exploring independently. Your ticket remains valid for eight days from first entry and covers the included sites and museums within the Archaeological Park, giving you the flexibility to return during its validity period.

What to expect

Main archaeological area

Ostia’s preserved streets follow the Cardo and Decumanus, with the Forum at their intersection, letting you trace the layout of Rome’s former port city.

• Follow the Decumanus past public buildings, shops, homes, and religious spaces that once formed part of everyday life in Ostia.

• Visit the Baths of Neptune and see their large black-and-white mosaics before continuing towards the Roman Theatre and Square of the Corporations.

• Explore the Forum area, including the Capitolium, Curia, basilica, and Temple of Rome and Augustus.

• Continue through residential and commercial spaces such as the House of Diana and the Thermopolium, where surviving rooms and counters reveal how residents lived, ate, and traded.

Museums and wider park

Your ticket also covers museums and sites across the wider Archaeological Park, with eight-day validity giving you time to explore beyond the main excavation area.

• Visit the park’s included museum spaces to see archaeological finds that add context to the structures and streets outside.

• Use the extended ticket validity to divide the archaeological area and other included park sites across separate visits.

• Move between preserved public, residential, commercial, and religious spaces to build a broader picture of how the ancient port functioned.

• Return within the eight-day validity period if you prefer to explore the wider park without fitting everything into a single day.

Wrapping up

If you choose the audio guide upgrade, explore with around 2.5 hours of recorded commentary in Italian, English, French, German, or Spanish. It adds self-paced context to the buildings, streets, baths, homes, shops, and public spaces you encounter across the archaeological area.
