Private walking tour with your personal guide to visit the fascinating Venetian area of the Cannaregio district with the Jewish Ghetto in the northern part of Venice.
A tour away from the tourist tracks in a significant area for the Jewish Culture.
The Cannaregio area is a charming quarter of Venice well known for the presence of the Jewish Ghetto and is the only area in Venice where it is possible to find some sort of medieval skyscrapers where Jews were forced to live during the years of the Republic of Venice.
With your guide, you will explore the lively Cannaregio area filled with artisans, fashion and accessory shops, artisans, bakeries, butchers or fruit shops.
It is very interesting to take a look at Cannaregio Coffee Roasting, a coffee shop where coffee beans are roasted in the tiny space behind the counter.
Walking along the north side of the Cannaregio district, the Sacca della Misericordia, you will have a look at the northern area of the lagoon and your guide will better explain the importance of water in the economy of Venice.
Explore the hidden Cannaregio area along Fondamenta degli Ormesini, a rather important area for Jewish culture right next to the Jewish quarter.
You will see the Ghetto, the Synagogues (from the outside), the Jewish Museums (from the outside), the Holocaust Memorial.
In the Cannaregio district there is a very strong presence of Tintoretto, the house where he lived, and the gothic church of the Madonna dell'Orto with the numerous works of art he painted and where his burial place is located.
If you are interested in visiting the three Synagogues and the Jewish Museum you can join a 1 hour tour led by Jewish community leaders every hour at 30:30 starting from 10:30 to 16:30. Cost: 12 Euro per person (to be paid locally).
The Museum, the Synagogues and the Cemetery are closed on Saturdays (Shabbat), during the Jewish holidays, on December 25th, January 1st and May 1st.
