Ostia Antica Tourist Guide This guide is provided for free by the Internet Group Ostia. For more information: www.ostia-antica.org. April 2011 (version 1.4) - 2 - General information Visiting Ostia is like visiting Tivoli and Hadrian's villa: a relaxing trip, that takes you away from the noise and incessant police-sirens of Rome. Reserve a whole day for your visit - not just to relax, but also because Ostia deserves it. The site is quite big, so don’t spend too much

time visiting the first buildings you encounter. What to wear Dress "onion-skin" style, that is using layers that can be removed. Ostia Antica is fairly close to the sea, but it can also be quite hot in the ruins even on a cloudy day. Fine hot weather is generally guaranteed from mid-May to late September. Extra-comfortable shoes! And a sun hat! How to get there The best way to reach Ostia is by using the metro. Trains leave at station Piramide. Get off the regular metro at Piramide, go up the escalator, turn immediately left and down the steps into the Roma-Lido station. A normal metro ticket will suffice for the entire journey. Get out at the stop Ostia Antica. Next cross the highway using the pedestrian bridge. To reach the site from the pedestrian bridge, keep walking straight ahead, cross a busy road (please be careful!) and after 100 metres turn left to get to the entrance (two minutes). If you arrive by car, you can use a parking lot in front of the entrance of the excavations. Food and drink, money Outside the station is a small bar. There is a restaurant with warm food on the site...
