What to expect

  1. Cannaregio
    1h
    As Venice’s most lived-in neighborhood, Cannaregio captures the city’s true pulse through its sprawling promenades and a vibrant scene of traditional taverns where locals still gather. It serves as a scenic sanctuary for travelers seeking a quieter perspective of the lagoon, characterized by its elegant Gothic palaces and hidden artisan studios tucked away from the main tourist thoroughfares.
  2. Ghetto Ebraico
    1h
    Established over 500 years ago, the Venetian Ghetto is a historic island-within-an-island known for its remarkably tall buildings that were constructed upward to maximize the district's limited footprint. This storied quarter remains the spiritual and cultural heart of the community, home to five historic synagogues that stand as a testament to the resilience and profound influence of Jewish heritage in Venice.
  3. The Spanish Synagogue
    Pass by
    Your tour will end near the Synagogues of Venice. Upgrade your experience to visit them inside, choosing the option with Synagogues access included.
