Where Old Meets New Meets Wow
DISCOVER TRASTEVERE & THE JEWISH GHETTO
Description
Sights? - You name it! - The Theatre of Pompeii (where Caesar Died), The Jewish Ghetto, The Oldest Bridge in Rome, Open-Air Food Markets, Classic Old-Style Restaurants, Old-Roman Charm and Architecture… a walk to remember!
You may have heard of Trastevere… and the world-class Italian shopping opportunities you’ll find there. - It’s become a go-to destination for authentic Roman side-streets and handmade jewelry, leather, and textiles.
But… You may not know that nearby, Rome cradles an eye-opening and beautifully-historic Jewish Ghetto, right in town. - And soon, you won’t be able to shut up about it!
Yep. - It’s not the Vatican, and it’s not the Colosseum… but it is one of Rome’s exclusive and beautiful neighborhood treasures. And it’s just as memorable. Really!
As you stroll along the cobblestones in the Jewish Ghetto and Trastevere, get ready to examine two of Rome’s most architecturally and historically rich neighborhoods! - You’ll see for yourself that Rome isn’t all about Catholicism and Maserati… there’s an engrossing tapestry of Pagan and Jewish traditions in this town that are equally Roman, and made out of sheer wow-potential to boot!
Your guide will take you through quaint and narrow old streets, show you architecture that’ll make you want to move to Italy, and bring the centuries to life for you! - You’ll get an insider’s view of the city, on a rare and unusual tour through a local spot.
Shopping, anyone? - Mm. Hmm. - After the tour you will want to linger here as it’s one of the best shopping districts in Rome and discover the one-of-a-kind treasures that make Trastevere so special.
So get yourself out to explore the side streets of Rome, and get a little of the historical perspective you can’t find in the history books. - There’s a reason why this tour gets raving reviews almost every time. We’d love to show you why!
Enjoy!
