Where Centrale Montemartini Is
Centrale Montemartini sits at Via Ostiense 106, in the Ostiense district, just south of the historic center. It's close to other local highlights such as the Pyramid of Cestius, Porta San Paolo, and the Garbatella neighborhood, and it's easy to reach by metro.
By Metro
The most convenient option is the metro:
- Garbatella (Line B) — the stop is a few minutes' walk from the museum. It's the fastest, most direct choice.
- Alternatively, Piramide (Line B) is about a 12–15 minute walk along Via Ostiense.
By Train (Metromare)
The area is also served by the Metromare line (formerly the Roma-Lido), which departs from Porta San Paolo (next to Piramide): handy if you're coming from Ostia or the coast.
On Foot and by Bike
From Piramide / Porta San Paolo, Centrale Montemartini is a 12–15 minute stroll along Via Ostiense, a street rich in street art and industrial archaeology. The area is also a pleasure to explore by bike.

By Car and the ZTL
The Ostiense district lies farther out than the historic center, but parking is still limited and partly paid. With a private driver (NCC) the problem simply disappears: they drop you at the entrance and handle the driving and the waiting, ideal if you want to pair Centrale Montemartini with other stops or an airport transfer.
Suggested Itinerary
Centrale Montemartini pairs well with the other stops around Ostiense:
- The Pyramid of Cestius and the Non-Catholic Cemetery.
- The Garbatella neighborhood, with its one-of-a-kind architecture.
- The Basilica of St Paul Outside the Walls, a little farther south.
A private driver keeps your itinerary flowing in an area less served than the classic tourist circuits.
