The Great Mosque is also home to the Islamic Cultural Centre of Italy, and it has opened to non-Muslim visitors only at set times, typically on certain mornings outside prayer, so confirm the current days before going. Dress modestly: long trousers or skirts and covered shoulders for everyone, and a headscarf for women. Shoes come off before the prayer hall. Avoid Friday midday, when the congregational prayer fills the building. The neighborhood mosques are places of worship for their communities, not attractions; if you want to visit one, ask first.
Rome's tourist board says visits to the Great Mosque are arranged by email to visitemoschea@hotmail.it, giving each visitor's name and a phone number (Turismo Roma). Guided visits are free; on Fridays the mosque is open for prayer only.
The mosque stands below Monte Antenne beside Villa Ada and the Acqua Acetosa sports grounds, north of the centre, so a taxi or bus is the practical way there; allow time, as it is not near a metro stop.
Arms and legs covered, a headscarf for women, and comfortable shoes you can take off, because the prayer hall is entered barefoot.

Yes, at set visiting times outside prayer, which have usually been on specific mornings. Check the current schedule before going and dress modestly.
