Roma Trip Overview
Discover the charming district of Trastevere and the Jewish ghetto with our walking tour starting from Piazza Trilussa.
Would you like to explore Rome as it looked like a couple of centuries ago? Narrow stone paved streets lined by medieval houses?
Trastevere is named for its position ‘over the Tiber’. Separated from the heart of central Rome by the river, the area retained its narrow lanes and working-class population when the rest of Rome began its nineteenth-century expansion.
Despite its being a major touristic destination, it has managed to preserve a strong local (and “Roman”!) identity.
We’ll cross the river Tiber and the Tiberina Island to get to one of the most important areas of the city: the Jewish ghetto.
As the oldest Jewish community in all of Europe, this beautiful, thriving neighborhood is as central to the history of the city as it is to the Jewish faith.
