Explore the rich Jewish heritage of Venice with a walking tour through the historic neighborhoods of Giudecca and Cannaregio. Begin your journey at Campo San Geremia, where your local guide will explain how the Serenissima Republic once imposed restrictions on the Jewish community, ultimately leading to the creation of the world’s first Jewish Ghetto. Continue to Campo del Ghetto, where the name “ghetto” originated from a local foundry. Wander through its quiet streets and uncover hidden synagogues that still stand as a testament to centuries of history. Hear about the lives of the Jewish residents over the years and the devastating deportations during the Holocaust. Stroll through Cannaregio, a district known for its tall Venetian buildings and peaceful canals, and enjoy a glimpse of everyday life as laundry sways between windows and locals cross tiny bridges. The tour concludes at Fondamenta dei Ormesini, offering a reflective end to a powerful and enriching cultural experience.
