Rome Jewish Ghetto Walking Tour with Great Synagogue

Explore Rome’s historic Jewish Ghetto on a three-hour private walking tour led by a licensed local expert. This compact neighborhood, bordered by the Tiber River and Piazza Venezia, brings centuries of history into view through ancient ruins, lively lanes, and enduring cultural landmarks. Your Rome Jewish Ghetto walking tour begins near the Theater of Marcellus and the Portico of Octavia, once home to a large fish market. Continue along Via del Portico di Ottavia and through Piazza delle Cinque Scole, then discover Piazza Giudea, Vicolo della Reginella, and Piazza Mattei, known for its Turtle Fountain. The route also passes Via dei Falegnami, Piazza Margana, and Piazza in Campitelli. The visit includes the Jewish Museum and Great Synagogue, where an internal Jewish guide leads a small group. The tour is private for your party and may be customized if requested when booking. The museum and synagogue close on Saturdays and Jewish holidays; on those days, the full three hours are spent in the Ghetto instead.
