Visit · 1 h 30 · €6 · Rome's harbour, with Trajan's hexagonal basin, next to Fiumicino airport

When Ostia became too small, Claudius and later Trajan built a new harbour north of the Tiber, with a hexagonal basin that can still be made out, today a lake among pines. The entrance is at via Portuense, 2360, beneath the viaduct of the airport motorway. It is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00; from late October to February, last entry at 15:30. It costs €6 or comes with the integrated ticket. The viewpoint over Trajan's lake is temporarily closed. There is an audio guide in Italian and English for €5.
