I had reviewed information on Ostia Antica and was prepared for something rivaling Pompeii. Instead, they had posted a sign saying their mosaics were covered for the winter (on a sunny, 60-degree F. …Full review by Karen F

Here you can really get a sense of a working town, and it's evolution over time - the remains of well to do residences and also insula are clearly present as are the warehouses. It's perhaps weird …Full review by Stuart B

Interesting to visit but don't recommend in winter - mosaics are all covered, museum and cafe closed. This wasn't clear when buying tickets and there's no discountFull review by danieloI1977MD
I use a mobility scooter but can get out to walk short distances, including relatively uneven surfaces and short flights of steps. Would I be able to see much of Ostia Antica?
A:
Yes, almost all the park is accessible on flat paths. It’s a fabulous place!
Train from Roma Termini can you take a train from Rome’s main station? What stop do you get off at?
A:
You take the metro B line to Pirámide station. From there the train to Lido and get off at Ostia Antica stop. From there is a 10 minute straight walk to the park. You need to walk up to …
You take the metro B line to Pirámide station. From there the train to Lido and get off at Ostia Antica stop. From there is a 10 minute straight walk to the park. You need to walk up to the pedestrian crosswalk so you need to be able to negotiate stairs. It goes over a busy highway. The cost of the metro ticket covers the whole trip. Enjoy. It’s beautiful!
Can we easily just show up and buy entrance tickets or is in-advance advised?
A:
Just show up at the entrance and buy your tickets. The day we went the park was pretty much empty and there were no lines at the ticket booth. Enjoy your visit!
I have a layover at Fiumicino Airport for approximately 7 hours and wanted to visit Parco Archeologico di Ostia Antica. I will take a taxi there and want to know is it easy to get a taxi back to the airport again? Is there a taxi rank near Parco Archeologico di Ostia Antica to return to the airport? Thanks
A:
I didn't see a taxi stand either. In fact my impression of the place around the station was of a small village - I was there fairly early in the day. But yes the train station is really close by. I …
I didn't see a taxi stand either. In fact my impression of the place around the station was of a small village - I was there fairly early in the day. But yes the train station is really close by. I have never used a cab in Rome but maybe you can call and book a cab to meet you there? Or even ask the cabbie who brings you from the airport about the return trip. Have a feeling you may end up paying for the cab to come there as well.
