Ostia Antica Small Group Tour

We begin our journey by walking through the ancient Necropolis, the "city of the dead," before entering the city through the majestic Porta Romana, the main gate that connected the port directly to Rome.

Admire the stunning black-and-white mosaics of sea monsters in the Baths of Neptune. Then, we’ll visit the grand Theater, where you can climb the steps for a panoramic view of the entire archaeological site.

Discover the "Fullonica," an authentic Roman laundry, to learn about their surprising cleaning methods. Contrast this with a visit to a "Domus," a luxurious private villa belonging to the city's wealthy elite.

We explore the largest public baths in the city. Here, you will see the impressive remains of the ancient underfloor heating systems and the massive halls where Romans socialized daily.

A fascinating stop at the city’s communal toilets. These remarkably well-preserved "Latrinae" offer a unique and surprisingly social glimpse into Roman hygiene and engineering.

We reach the center of the city to stand before the Capitolium, Ostia’s most imposing temple. This area was the heartbeat of political and religious life, surrounded by the city's most important monuments.

We conclude by exploring the "Insulae," the famous multi-story brick apartment blocks. Finally, we’ll visit a "Thermopolium," an ancient Roman café/bar, complete with its original marble counter and frescoed walls.
