Ostia Antica

The excavated city with its theater

If you have always dreamed of traveling back in time, this tour is the perfect choice for you.

In March 2020, Ostia Antica received the European Heritage Label from the European Commission, for being a milestone in the creation of today’s Europe and symbolizing European ideals, values, history, and integration.

Only 25 km (16 mi) away from Rome, a city buried for centuries has been fully excavated and is ready to be visited. Ostia was Rome’s first colony and harbor town, and it quickly became essential for Rome’s business and military strategy.

If you love archaeology and are interested in discovering the real ancient Roman daily life, you cannot miss this tour!
