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?

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

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.
