Just 30 minutes by train from Rome, Ostia Antica is a stunning archaeological site that was once the bustling port of the Eternal City.

Today, Ostia Antica is a beautifully preserved window into daily life in ancient Rome. Wander through its remarkable ruins, including baths, theaters, temples, shops, residences, and even the barracks of the vigiles—the ancient Roman fire brigade.
