Here’s a real out-the-beaten-track tour of Venice: let’s explore the area of Rialto, the city market, and Cannaregio, a magnificent district that hosts the historical Jewish Ghetto of Venice, the oldest in the world.
We will sightsee some iconic areas exploring less known alleyways, crossing the Gran Canal with a gondola and getting finally in one of the most charming parts of Venice, the area of the ghetto.
Learn why and where the Venetian Republic, already in year 1516, forced the Jewish community to live under strict rules. Let’s hear later how the Venetian population faced the horrible period of the Holocaust.
Furthermore I’ll show you extra hidden gems and a taset of real Venice at a traditional “bacaro”, the local bistrò.
Highlights:
– visit the Rialto bridge and the surrounding area
– try the experience of a gondola lift, like real venetians do
– wander quietly along typical narrow and charming alleyways
– learn the origin of the word “ghetto” (it’s a real venetian word, did you know?)
