- Ghetto Venezia - Discover Jewish Venice and the Cannaregio district on a guided walking tour, revealing what many visitors miss. Wander through picturesque streets, uncover centuries of Jewish history, and experience the local culture. Visit Campo del Ghetto Nuovo, established in 1516 as a fortified island. Learn about the confinement of Venetian Jews here and how the community addressed overcrowding by constructing tenement blocks up to six stories high — a 16th-century European innovation. Along the journey, enjoy stories, landmarks, and hidden corners that bring Jewish Venice to life.
- Cannaregio - Proceed to the Cannaregio district, now an intriguing residential area in the city’s northern part. The historic Jewish influence is evident upon entering this area, where yellow signs in Hebrew and Italian guide you to the Synagogue. This delightful Ghetto Vecchio (Old Ghetto) is bustling with artisan workshops, galleries, shops, and delis, best explored at a relaxed pace.
- Jewish Museum of Venice - Pass by the Deportation Memorial, the Levantine Synagogue, and the Jewish Museum of Venice during the small-group Jewish Ghetto tour. Explore the famous Antichità al Ghetto antique store, then gain special access to the Levantine and Spanish Synagogues arranged by the Jewish Museum. Although the Museum is closed for restoration, the synagogues welcome visitors, offering a genuine insight into Venice’s Jewish heritage. Hear the tale of how Napoleon removed the ghetto gates, allowing Jews to live freely throughout Venice. Immerse in a vibrant district filled with Jewish bakeries, restaurants, and artisanal shops. Conclude the tour surrounded by the Ghetto’s historic buildings and centuries-old landmarks, where unique architecture reflects a legacy of resilience, tradition, and cultural identity.
