Ancient Ostia Tour
Let's Start Living The Italian Dream
Explore Ostia the best preserved ancient roman city near Rome
Ostia, once an essential city in ancient Roman times, played a key role due to its strategic location between the sea and the Tiber River. It was the first Roman colony and served as the most important port city near Rome, attracting merchants and visitors from across the ancient world. Over the centuries, several emperors transformed Ostia into a thriving urban center, constructing landmarks such as a Capitolium, a theatre, and multi-story apartment buildings to accommodate the growing international population.
Today, Ostia offers visitors an exceptional journey through time. The city’s remarkable preservation allows you to explore its ancient buildings, well-preserved frescoes, and impressive mosaics that adorn the luxury homes of the past. Walking through the ancient public baths, bakery, and tavern, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into a different era.
A visit to Ostia is a unique experience, like Pompeii, but just a 30-minute drive from Rome, giving you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty and organization of an ancient Roman city.
The proximity to the sea allows us to enjoy a seaside lunch after an immersive tour of ancient Rome, savoring local products in a peaceful and tranquil oasis.
