Ancient Ostia Day Trip - Rome's Pompeii with Expert Guide
Dive into Rome’s ancient side. The story of Pompeii may be legendary, but it is not unique – sort of. An ancient Roman seaport now known as Ostia Antica experienced a similar fate, though not on quite so grand a scale. While not every city can experience the privilege of being preserved in a volcanic cataclysm, the natural phenomena responsible for that preservation is not limited to Pompeii. Ostia Antica is such an example.
Spending centuries buried beneath sediment, this remarkably well-preserved site offers insight into ancient Roman life that surpasses even the Roman Forum in Rome. Experience the Roman Empire in its golden age, walking the same paths and entering the same buildings that ancient people once called home.
Driven directly to the site by our provided vehicle, and equipped with an expert guide, you will explore everything that Ostia Antica has to offer. From complex architecture to impeccable art, Ostia Antica is filled with incredible detail that was simply mundane to its usual inhabitants. It contains a full ancient Roman theater, which still sees occasional use even to this day. It’s also home to historic buildings, statues, lavish houses with intricate floor patterns, and a welcome sign originally posted at the town’s main gates – the inscription still readable despite its age.
All this, and more, await you at the historic Ostia Antica. Experience ancient Roman life in the greatest detail possible, on this 4-hour tour through incredible preservation and Roman majesty.
