This walking tour takes you through the Jewish Ghetto of Venice and the Cannaregio district, one of the city’s most authentic and atmospheric areas. Still vibrant and deeply rooted in tradition, this neighborhood remains largely untouched by mass tourism.

You’ll visit the impressive Scuola della Misericordia, the beautiful Church of Madonna dell’Orto with its art treasures, and pass by the house of Tintoretto. Along the way, you’ll explore a more intimate side of Venice, among artisan workshops, local businesses and quiet canals.

You’ll discover the origin of the word “ghetto” and follow the compelling story of the Jewish community in Venice, from its beginnings in the 16th century to the present day, through hardship, culture and resilience.

The tour ends with a relaxing break: enjoy a traditional coffee or a Venetian aperitivo with cicheti in a typical bacaro, like a true local.
