Official price benchmark

How do official Ostia Antica prices compare with partner tours?

The integrated adult ticket costs €18 and covers the park's archaeological sites and museums for eight days from first entry. We could not confirm whether the online checkout adds a fee.

A lower rate of €2.00 (EU citizens aged 18 to 24, integrated ticket) applies only to some visitors or dates. Check whether it applies to you before you book.

Not ideal for
Monday visitors, as the park is closed, and anyone wanting the Museo Ostiense on a free-entry day, when it is closed.

Partner tickets and tours from€18.00Check whether this price is per person or per group.

Partner products add a guide, travel from Rome, a smaller group or a private tour, so their prices are not directly comparable with admission alone.
