“Explore Ostia on Horseback! - Highly recommend heading for a horse trek with Alessia and her beautiful horses. I particularly loved Kahir🐎🥰. Alessia is so welcoming and so much fun and lots of fun facts during our ride. The horse were fantastic catering for all levels. We were only to Roma for a short weekend so wish we could have stayed longer and go to the mountains riding but we will be back. Many thanks for recommending Ostia Antica, to see the ancient ruins and lovely beaches.” - Reviewed on 2024-10-17

Reliving the Glory of Ancient Rome

Step into the shoes of ancient Romans as you wander through the remarkably preserved ruins of Ostia Antica. Known as “Better than Pompeii,” this archaeological site offers a glimpse into the past that is both awe-inspiring and humbling. With the Ancient Ruins Tour, available on December 1st from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, you’ll embark on a guided journey through time.

Stroll along the Decumanus Maximus, the main street of this once-bustling harbor town, and let the stories of the past unfold before you. The Roman statues, still standing proudly, will make you feel as though you’ve been transported back to the days of the Roman Empire. The tour includes a convenient hotel pickup and drop-off, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience.

“Great half-day getaway from Rome! - My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this half-day tour. Our guide was prompt, professional and extremely knowledgeable. The moment we began our drive out of the city, she provided a thorough history of Rome. In Osteo Antica, our guide was a wealth of knowledge and she made this former bustling port city archaeological site come to life! If you are looking for a respite from the crowds in Rome, take a morning tour for a walk back into ancient times. You will not be disappointed!” - Reviewed on 2024-06-20

Embrace the Winter Breeze

With the weather forecast promising clear skies and cool breezes, Ostia Antica is the perfect destination for a winter getaway. The moderate temperatures and excellent visibility make it an ideal time to explore the city’s rich history and natural beauty. Whether you’re galloping through the ancient ruins on horseback or walking among the remnants of a bygone era, the experience is sure to be unforgettable.

The moderate UV index means you can enjoy the outdoors without worrying too much about sun exposure, though a bit of sunscreen is always a good idea. The wind might add a slight chill, but it’s nothing a cozy scarf and a sense of adventure can’t handle. As the sun sets early, you’ll have the perfect excuse to cozy up with a warm drink and reflect on the day’s adventures.

So, pack your bags, lace up your boots, and get ready to embrace the winter wonders of Ostia Antica. This is more than just a trip; it’s an adventure that will leave you with stories to tell and memories to cherish.
