Step Into the Ancient World at Ostia Antica. Just outside of Rome lies the remarkably preserved harbor city of Ostia Antica. once a bustling port where ships arrived from across the Roman Empire and elites escaped for seaside leisure. Often referred to as "Rome’s Pompeii," Ostia offers a captivating glimpse into daily life in the ancient world, without the crowds or restrictions found at many archaeological sites.

Your journey begins at the city gates, where you’ll pass through a Necropolis before entering the heart of the ancient town. From there, explore a well-preserved Roman theater, wander through lively forums and streets once lined with taverns, shops, bathhouses, and elegant villas, and discover frescoes and mosaics that still echo with the stories of the people who lived here.

With open pathways and fewer barriers than most historical ruins, Ostia invites you to truly immerse yourself in its history. As you stroll through its silent streets, you’ll feel the rhythm of ancient Roman life all around you—less like a distant past and more like a city paused in time.
