Private Tours Rome | Jewish Ghetto
Classic sights included in our itinerary:
- Via del Portico d'Ottavia
- Trastevere and the Tiber Island
- Kosher Food in Rome
The Jewish Ghetto is not only one of the most ancient neighbourhoods in Rome, but also the oldest Jewish community in the whole of Europe. It’s a small, atmospheric neighbourhood, where local history and traditions can be found on every street, from the lively main street of Via Portico d’Ottavia to the narrow, winding backstreets. As we walk through the cobbled streets of the Ghetto, seeing the Synagogue and sampling traditional Jewish treats at characteristic Kosher shops and bakeries, your guide will tell you about the long and turbulent history of the Jewish community in Rome - a story of emigration and persecution - and show you the people and places that make up the modern-day community. Highlights of the tour include visits to the picturesque Piazza di Mattei and its famous turtle fountain, the Synagogue, and the grand ruins of an Ancient Roman theatre, Teatro Marcello.
