Rome: Day Trip to Ostia Antica with Optional Hotel Pickup – Rome, Italy

EXPERIENCE:

Our driver will pick you up from your centrally located hotel in Rome, and you’ll reach Ostia, located just 30 km (18.6 miles) from Rome, without any stress.
Ostia Antica was one of the most thriving Roman seaports during Julius Caesar’s time, and its vast ruins still hold magnificent frescoes, marbles, and mosaics. Accompanied by your local guide, you’ll explore the site’s buildings, blocks of apartments, dwellings, huge statues, and even take a look inside Ostia Antica’s theater, overlooking the Forum.
Walk down the Decumanus Maximus and learn about the public baths. Reach the Baths of Neptune, where a stunning, almost-intact original mosaic of the God of the sea pulled by a four-horse chariot is on display. These baths contain an open-air palestra (i.e., gym).
The archaeological excavations began in the early 19th century, bringing real treasures to life after the village stayed buried in rubble for over ten centuries. Let your imagination flow and feel like you’re traveling back in time! This Ostia Antica Tour is the perfect half-day trip from Rome if you want to learn more about ancient Rome’s architecture and the inhabitants’ lifestyle, but you couldn’t make to the full day tour to Pompeii. At the end of the tour, our driver will take you back to Rome. Book now and get ready to dive deep into Roman history!
