"Hop on the commuter train at Lido Station (next to the Piramide Metro stop) and make the 25-minute trip to Ostia Antica, Rome's ancient port town and administrative center. The teeming city of up to 100,000 residents is relatively well preserved and allows visitors a peek into the daily life of ancient Romans. Walk the basalt streets, visit the Forum, descend into Mithraic sanctuaries, and peruse the market stalls, which were in use until around the 5th century C.E."
Delightful archeological park of ancient Rome. Easy 30 minute train trip from Piramid station and then a short walk. Very peaceful and quiet, lovely park type setting and it is a large site.
Very well preserved but not as much as Pompei as I suspect the building materials were not protected by volcano ssh and have been used for centuries to create new structures in this area.
Well worth a visit and I would allow a half day all up.
Unfortunately the museum has been closed for restoration for some time and no indication when it will re open.

Don't park at this station. The place is covered with glass from broken car windows. They will break in your car. They stole our stuff too.

I don't understand why so many retards review this train station as if it were the actual archeological park.
The railways work in a typical Italian fashion: there are no displays inside the station; they are at the platforms so you can't see them from the station and find out the trains don't follow the published timetable. Neither does the company bother to supply the data to Google Maps and the various mobile apps are very low quality and hard to use.

Fine urban train station, like it very much. Near the main station building placed a small pool with colorful fishes!

We parked our car there for an overnight stay in Rome and our car was robbed! Do not leave your car here!! Every single cubby and pocket was robbed and EVERYTHING including bags, souvenirs, change, and luggage was stolen! We were careful to leave nothing visible and backed up to a wall for the trunk to be against. Didn't matter, everything was stolen. Security guards at the station did not care! Would not even get off their cell phone to talk to us! May be my last time to ever desire to visit Rome!
