CANNAREGIO & JEWISH GHETTO WALKING TOUR
Tour features: Guided tour of the Jewish Ghetto, Madonna dell'Orto Church, Scuola della Misericordia, Palace of the Camels, Views of the northern lagoon, and the charming residential area of Cannaregio. On the Cannaregio & Jewish Ghetto Walking Tour discover the lively and vibrant atmosphere of the most residential part of the city, where the few Venetians left in town still live! Enjoy a pleasant stroll off-the-beaten track through the non-tourist district of Cannaregio. You'll quickly discover that literally the whole of Venice is one giant open-air museum as you encounter imposing Palaces, important churches, enchanting canals and bridges as you make your way through a labyrinth of narrow streets and alleyways to the Jewish Ghetto that lies in the heart of the Cannaregio district of Venice. 
The walking tour through the Cannaregio district includes many detours to encounter homes of famous Venetians like Tintoretto & Titian, delightful anecdotes & stories of past residents of this picturesque area of Venice, along with sweeping views of the northern lagoon where we'll be able to discuss the vital role that the Lagoon played in the history of a city built from fear. After a fascinating walking tour through the Cannaregio district, we'll spend the second part of the tour exploring the famous "Jewish Ghetto". A city within a city, and you'll learn how the Jewish community lived here over the centuries. And what role they played in the history of Venice. 
Entrances to the Jewish museum and synagogues are not included, as they are strictly controlled by the Jewish community (can be visited after the tour). This tour finishes in the Jewish Ghetto, and those wishing to visit the Jewish Ghetto can do so at the end of our tour.
