Tour description

Our Trastevere Free Walking Tour guides you in the amazing neighborhood of Trastevere. Trastevere has more than 2000 years of history and a remarkable amount of unique artworks. Follow us around its narrow streets, treasures, legends, and amazing churches. First of all the walk begins in the heart of Rome in the middle of its iconic Tiber island, the smallest inhabited island in the world. Our Free Trastevere Itinerary includes amazing masterpieces like the ancient Christian Basilica of Santa Cecilia, one of the district’s most stunning treasures; then it also continues among the district’s narrow alleys where you can feel countless centuries of myths and legends.
Furthermore, Trastevere’s Free Tour will include also one of the latest artworks of Bernini:” Blessed Ludovica Albertoni” before finally taking you to Santa Maria in Trastevere, the oldest church in the world where you will admire its outstanding golden mosaic. Follow us around this labyrinth of picturesque alleys and as a result, you will discover what made Trastevere, its inhabitants, and its traditions so special and unique.
Transition from the ancient Roman religion to Christianism, roles of women during different ages, district's identities and traditions, will be some of the topics discussed.
