Jewish Rome

Your Roman holiday would not be complete without a visit to the Jewish  Ghetto with someone that can take you through with knowledge, anecdotes, legends and humor. Roman Jews have been living in this neighborhood for 22 centuries, giving birth to the only Jewish community to have been always present in the same place before the Diaspora.

The tour will take you to the Synagogue, the Kosher bakery, the Jewish Museum and much more. If desired, you'll be able to visit the Jewish Lapidarium in the Vatican, an exclusive tour of the archives of the first Roman Jews.
