About this tour
Leave the San Marco crowds behind to explore the authentic soul of Venice. This 2-hour group tour wanders through the tranquil Cannaregio district—a neighborhood of artisan workshops and local wine bars—before entering the world’s oldest Jewish Ghetto. Guided by a local expert, you’ll uncover the city's secret chronicles and view the "skyscrapers" of the Ghetto, unique high-rises built centuries ago due to limited space.
Why Choose This Tour?
Authentic Charm: Experience a lived-in side of Venice filled with traditional osterie and quiet canals.
Historic Insight: Trace the 500-year legacy of the Jewish community and learn the origins of the word "Ghetto."
Expert Storytelling: Listen to captivating legends that bring the district's architecture to life.
For a more comprehensive experience, we offer an optional upgrade to include a guided interior visit to the Jewish Museum and the Levantine and Spanish Synagogues.
