The experience
A two-hour walk through Cannaregio and the Jewish Ghetto with a native Venetian guide, away from the crowds around St Mark’s.
The walk starts in Campo San Geremia in Cannaregio and crosses into the Jewish Ghetto — the origin of the word “ghetto” — passing the Chiesa della Madonna dell’Orto, known for its Tintoretto paintings, and the Palazzo Mastelli, nicknamed the “Camel House.”
The route continues past a historic gondola factory before finishing at the Rialto Bridge, with the guide filling in the stories and daily life behind each stop along the way.
