Itinerary

Step into Ancient Rome at Ancient Ostia – The Forgotten Pompeii Just a short drive from Rome lies one of Italy’s best-kept secrets: Ancient Ostia, a remarkably well-preserved Roman city frozen in time. Wander through cobbled streets, explore ancient bathhouses, bakeries, taverns, and even a Roman theater – all still standing after nearly two millennia. Far less crowded than Pompeii, yet equally impressive, Ancient Ostia offers an immersive journey into daily life during the height of the Roman Empire. Discover intricate mosaics, climb to the top of the amphitheater, and stroll through the Forum, all with the peace and quiet that only a hidden gem can offer. If you're looking for authentic history, stunning ruins, and a break from the chaos of the city – Ancient Ostia is your perfect escape.

About Rome

Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.

Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.

Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
