Highlights
  • Parco Archeologico di Ostia Antica - Ostia was Ancient Rome’s seaport, the ancient Roman city of Ostia was in antiquity situated at the mouth of the river Tiber, some 30 kilometres to the west of Rome. The shoreline moved seawards, due to silting, from the Middle Ages until the 19th century. Therefore Ostia is today still lying next to the Tiber, but at a distance of some three kilometers from the beach.
    Skip-The-Line entrance Tickets Included.
