Overview

About three hours on foot with a licensed private guide, ending with a Roman Jewish food tasting. The walk begins at the Theatre of Marcellus and the Portico of Octavia, in Europe's oldest Jewish community, then crosses Rome's oldest bridge to Tiber Island and into Trastevere.

This is the side of Rome where the monuments give way to neighbourhoods. Departures run daily with a flexible start time, and the route can be fully tailored.

Suggested route

  1. Theatre of Marcellus
  2. Portico of Octavia
  3. Largo 16 Ottobre 1943 and the Stolpersteine
  4. Great Synagogue and Piazza Mattei

  6. Santa Maria in Trastevere
  7. Food tasting: carciofi alla giudia
