Venice Tour of Cannaregio and Jewish Ghetto

An enchanting walk through the popular neighbour of Cannaregio. In this tour you will see from outside the main monuments, palaces and churches in one of the ancient but richest area of the town.

The tour concludes at the Ghetto with a historical explanation of the Jewish Community in Venice.

“Ghetto” is in fact a venetian word meaning “foundry” because the jewish quarter was builded replacing a foundry. This name now means “Jewish District” all over the world. Here (not included) you can join a visit of the Jewish Museum and the Synagogues with specialized guides.
