Itinerary and highlights

Trastevere is certainly one of Rome's most characteristic neighbourhoods, where between tiny lively alleys, Roman trattorias, small markets, shops and artisan workshops, it's still possible to get lost to find the essence of the most authentic and genuine Rome.

Dedicated to Saint Cecilia, who is considered a patron saint of music, if it is open we will see it from inside too.

We will have an opportunity to admire the fountain piercing the centre of this square, of Roman origin, was restored by Bernini in 1659. The beautiful Romanesque facade of Basilica di Santa Maria in Trastevere glitters after a long restoration.

This portico was probably built by emperor Augustus between 33 and 23 BCin memory of his sister Octavia. It was a double-columned porch of a rectangular form adorned by sculptures and paintings. The portico made an easier access to the Marcello theatre.

The Tiber Island has been at the center of countless legends linked to the origins of Rome. It is said in particular that its shape imitated that of the ship that transported Aesculapius, god of medicine, from Epidaurus.

It is immediately evident where Rome’s Turtle Fountain gets its name. No, there are no turtles swimming in the water – the animals here are truly priceless.

The Theatre of Marcellus is an ancient open-air theatre in Rome, built in the closing years of the Roman Republic.

The Great Synagogue is not only a place for prayer and a symbol of the freedom of the Jewish community in Rome, but also serves as a cultural center for the community

The Jewish ghetto of Rome is one of the most beautiful hidden treasures of the city
