Experience the rich Jewish heritage of Venice with a guided walking tour through the Jewish Ghetto and Cannaregio district. Begin your journey in the Cannaregio district, a historic residential area filled with artisan workshops, galleries, shops, and delis in the charming Ghetto Vecchio (Old Ghetto). As you walk, you'll discover the district’s deep Jewish influence.

Next, explore Campo del Ghetto Nuovo (New Ghetto Square), established in 1516 as a fortified island where Venetian Jews were confined. Your guide will explain how overcrowding was resolved by adding extra floors to buildings to accommodate more residents. While in the square, you’ll also see the important bas-reliefs in Campo del Ghetto Nuovo, which are often overlooked by visitors but hold significant historical value.

As you continue, pass by the Deportation Memorial, a poignant reminder of the dark history faced by the Jewish community in Venice. You’ll also visit the Levantine and Spanish Synagogues, where expert guides will share insights into Venice’s Jewish heritage. Although the Jewish Museum of Venice is under restoration, you’ll still have a rare opportunity to experience its cultural importance.

Finally, explore Antichità al Ghetto, a renowned antique store, before concluding your tour through the vibrant Jewish Ghetto, rich in history, tradition, and cultural identity.
