EXPERIENCE:

Get a little closer to the history, legends, and folklore of Tiber Island and one of Rome’s most significant neighborhoods, Trastevere. Follow your guide through the hidden squares, gems, and monuments while learning about the sacred stories and legends of Romans passed.

Meet your guide at Fabrico Bridge and begin the walk to the only island in the Eternal city. Cross over the oldest Roman bridge still in use that connects the left bank of Tiber River with the island. Travel back in time and retrace the steps of the Greeks and Romans.

Once on the island, learn of how it was originally formed by volcanic rock and river sediment that accumulated over many millennia. Admire the island’s ship-like shape and discover the stories about the smallest inhabited island in the world.
