Rome Jewish Ghetto and Tiber Island Walking Tour

Discover a quieter side of Rome on a 120-minute walk from Tiber Island into the historic Jewish Ghetto. Cross the ancient Fabricio Bridge, where views of the river accompany stories of the city’s past, then follow the neighborhood’s narrow streets and explore the exterior of the Jewish Synagogue of Rome, a landmark of a millennia-old community.

Along the way, admire the Turtle Fountain in Piazza Mattei and pause for coffee, cappuccino, or tea with a typical Jewish pastry. Reflect at the Stolpersteine, small brass plaques honoring Holocaust victims, before continuing to Piazza delle Cinque Scole and the Portico of Octavia. The walk concludes near the Theatre of Marcellus, an ancient structure with a long history and a present-day role in cultural events and concerts.

With an English-speaking live guide, this Rome Jewish Ghetto and Tiber Island walking tour brings together local stories, historic landmarks, and a memorable neighborhood snack. Meet near the small obelisk in the center of the square and experience Rome on foot.
