Your Experience

The Rome Jewish Ghetto Walking Tour offers a unique journey through history, taking you to where Jews were once isolated for centuries. Despite most ancient homes being lost over time, walking the narrow streets and alleys of this historic area allows glimpses into its rich past.

  • Witness traces of Imperial Rome during your walk
  • Explore landmarks like the Theatre of Marcellus, also known as the "Small Colosseum," and Portico of Octavia

Your guide will take you through these alleys to explore Jewish history from ancient times to modern days. You'll encounter “stumbling stones,” concrete cubes with brass plates that serve as a poignant reminder of Holocaust victims.

  • Try traditional Jewish-Roman dishes, such as artichokes "alla giudia" and ricotta cheese tart with sour cherries
  • Visit the 19th-century synagogue for an enriching experience
  • Conclude your tour by enjoying the serene sound of water from Rome's Renaissance Turtle Fountain in Piazza Mattei

This walking tour, spanning several hours, explores you into a world where history and culture blend smoothly.
