Ostia Antica was the ancient harbour city of Rome and once served as a vital centre of trade connecting the empire with the wider Mediterranean. Today the archaeological park preserves streets, apartments, warehouses, temples and theatres that reveal how Romans lived and worked. Unlike the crowded centre of Rome, Ostia Antica offers a quieter experience where visitors can spend hours exploring ancient streets surrounded by greenery. Its location near the coast makes it easy to combine with cycling routes, beaches and outdoor travel around the Roman coastline.
