Private tour - Ostia Antica departing from Rome
The ancient city of Ostia, today about 4 km from the coast due to the advance of the mainland due to the action of the Tiber river, owed its fortune to the presence of the ports that connected it commercially to the city of Rome. Founded by King Anco Marcio according to ancient sources, Ostia was built on a military camp along a natural river port. The emperor Claudius already in 44 A.D. he built an artificial basin which was later abandoned when Trajan began building a port further north.

Where this sits in Rome
Rome is about 33 min by road from Rome Fiumicino Airport. Three thousand years stacked on top of each other, still busy being a capital. Stay central and walk — the Forum, the Pantheon and a dozen churches worth the detour are closer together than the map suggests, and the city rewards wandering more than ticking off.
