how to get from Fiumicino airport hilton garden hotel to Ostia Antica besides taxi?

Does anyone know how we can get from Fiumiciono airport and/or from the airport hilton garden hotel to Ostia Antica besides taxi? We are arriving very early at 8:40 am at the airport and probably cannot check in the close-by hotel. We want to see the wonderful Ostia Antica ancient town that day before we return to the hotel and fly back next day. Taxi is expensive,but I heard that there is a bus, but that web site is only in Italian. does anyone know more about this bus and its schedule, etc?

Ostia Antica is very near the airport. Are you sure it is expensive? We visited in our rental car before dropping it off and staying at Hilton FCO.

thank you for your comment. I read in Internet someone said the taxi ride was 50-60 $s, and the bus only 1-11 $s.? perhaps we can find out when we're there.

I think the €50 taxi rate must be into Rome.? Taxifarefinder for Rome says €13+ from the airport to Ostia Antica. A little over 12 km away.

Were you looking on rome2rio for your information? If you click on the bus #2 it will bring up a new screen with operator details, a Web page, and ticket information. When I open the Web page, Google automatically translates it into English.

yes, that is exactly what I was looking up, bus #2 and that site you mention, google translated it, but after that it was just frozen and would not do anything. I'll try again. But if the taxi fee is as you say, that is not bad at all. So we look forward to that easier ride to go to Ostia Antica, which is supposed to be pretty interesting.

thank you for your clarification. Monika

Oh goody! I’m staying at the same hotel and arriving at the same time and planned on going there! I had not looked up how to get there yet! This is so timely!

Just in case you're planning to visit on a Monday, be aware that Ostia Antica is closed on Mondays.
