Small-Group Walking Tour of the Jewish Ghetto in Venice

About

The best 2 h Venice Jewish Ghetto tour experience you can book with a guide trained by the Jewish Ghetto community and Rabbi. An historical walk and immersion into the heart of the Jewish ghetto to discover the secrets of the 1st Jewish Ghetto of the world. We will avoid the tourist trail exploring an authentic, lesser-known, but incredible, well-preserved area of Venice, full of charme, enjoying the secret corners of the three ghettos of Venice. You will learn why the Republic forced the Jewish community to live under strict rules and how they lived for centuries in Cannaregio. Did you know that the word "ghetto" comes from a local venetian word? I will help you to recognize the hidden synagogues from outside and I will give you insights into the tragedy of the deportation and how the Holocaust left a deep mark. We will explore together Cannaregio, with its beautiful streets and the venetian "skyscrapers", we will cross beautiful bridges draped in the locals' laundry, Italian style.
