Three Hours Walking Tour of the Jewish Sector of Rome

For those wanting to walk through a vibrant area while learning from a local guide.

This tour is run by Explore Rome. Ask for romantic restaurant suggestions at the end of the tour.

Beginning in the Rione of Trastevere, beyond the Tiber River, this walk leads down lively cobbled streets hopping with a young university vibe.

Explore romantic Trastevere, on this 3-hour tour uncovering restaurants, bars, and cafés with an opportunity to visit boutiques and studios for some unique gifts.

Trastevere literally means beyond the Tiber, and was originally connected to the main city of Rome by a tiny wooden bridge. Initially the area was settled by Jews and Syrians arriving from the East.

See Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere, the large square at the front of Santa Maria church in Trastevere, one of the city’s oldest churches and one of the most visited in Rome.

Rome’s Jewish Ghetto or Serraglio delli Ebrei (enclosure of Jews) located near the Tiber, is bordered by Via del Portico d’Ottavia, Lungotevere dei Cenci, Via del Progresso, and Via di Santa Maria del Pianto and includes the Synagogue of Rome.

This area is interesting to walk around and today is known for its restaurants and some of the best food in Rome.

After our walk we decided to stay for a fabulous meal in a traditional Jewish restaurant.

This tour is run by Explore Rome and has been known to stray outside the boundaries of Trastevere and the Jewish Quarter. Inclusions:

• 3-hour guided tour
• Audio Headphones
