Sestiere of Cannaregio

Experience like a local


Cannaregio is one of Venice's most famous sestieri.  Less known by the traditional tourist but with so much to see and do. An excellent area to stay, it offers many local Bacari and Trattorias to experience Venice like a local.
 
Cannaregio is the sestiere most north of the six districts of Venice.
 
If the presence of shops, markets, taverns and bars make Cannaregio an ideal place for those who want to stay, perhaps in the apartment and live the life of the Venetians ....

Cannaregio is also home to the Jewish Quarter called the Ghetto, is the oldest in all of Europe and dates back to 1516, now the centerpiece of the Jewish community of Venice with its 5 Synagogues and the Jewish Museum which is worth a visit.
