Highlights
  • Isola Tiberina - This is the smallest Island in the world in the middle of the Tiber River.
  • Ghetto Ebraico - This is the second-oldest Jewish ghetto in the world, after the one in Venezia. Today is the heart of Roman traditional food, with historical restaurants along the main street. There is a famous “Forno,” which is considered the best in the city for the cake with ricotta and visciole, and the Modern Temple, which is the Jewish Synagogue.
  • Trastevere - The bohemian neighborhood of Rome, center of food and ancient traditions, local shops, restaurants, and small activities, with its narrow alleys, balconies, and low buildings covered in Ivy, is a literal jump in the past.
  • Santa Cecilia in Trastevere - A medieval basilica with underground ruins dating back to the ancient Roman Empire and a suggestive cloister under the ground floor.

Additional Information

This excursion unravels the compelling narrative and customs of the historical Jewish Quarter, guiding you through its labyrinthine passageways brimming with archaeological remnants from the bygone Roman Empire, like the Porticus of Ottavia, the erstwhile fish market, and the Theatre of Marcello, colloquially deemed the ‘Little Colosseum.’ On concluding the exploration of the neighborhood and its quintessential eateries, we will journey to the petite Tiberina Island nestled in the heart of the Tiber River, where you can tread on the most ancient bridge erected by the Romans over 2000 years ago. Consequently, we will venture to Trastevere, Rome’s vibrant bohemian and artistic quarter, to behold the Basilica of Santa Cecilia, its extraordinary cloister, and absorbing subterranean space, ranking among the city center’s most mesmerizing and vital conservations.
