Getting there & away
From Rome, take metro line B to Piramide, then the Ostia Lido train from Stazione Porta San Paolo (next to the metro station). Trains leave about every half-hour and the trip takes approximately 25 minutes. It is covered by the standard BIT tickets. When you arrive at Ostia station, exit and walk over the pedestrian bridge. Go straight ahead and you’ll see the castle to your right and the ruins straight ahead.
Battelli di Roma (06 678 93 61; www.battellidiroma.it) offers a return cruise from Rome to Ostia on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. It costs €13 and leaves Ponte Marconi at 10am, returning from Ostia at 2pm. Cruising time is two hours each way.
The ruins are also easy to reach by car. Take Via del Mare, which runs parallel to Via Ostiense, and follow the signs for the scavi (ruins).
