We took a really nice tour. The guide, a lady with curly blond hair (I forgot her name) was succinct and interesting. The big synagogue was really beautiful, and the small one, recently restored, was a gem. You register for the tour inside the Ghetto

The Jewish Ghetto of Venice (Ghetto Ebraico) is a place of deep historical significance — this is where the very word “ghetto” originated. Established in 1516, it was the first area in the world where Jews were legally required to live, locked behind gates at night. Despite the restrictions, the community flourished here, preserving its traditions, faith, and culture for centuries. Today, it’s a peaceful and moving place to visit, with historic synagogues and a small museum that tell the powerful story of resilience and identity.

A quiet area in the greater urban Venice. Good food and a difference culture to appreciate as you wander the streets and waterways of this Ghetto in the larger area of Canarreggio. There are tours if you don't want to do your own research but the care as public toilets are few and far between. Not so much for children to appreciate as a visitor.

We took the Jewish Ghetto walking tour starting at 10:30. It was brilliant to see the place and understand the history of the place too. Was a much quieter part of Venice away from the hustle bustle of other parts of Venice. We came across many small restaurants to eat and drink which we went back to after the walk. Would definitely recommend the free walking tour, our guide Lucia was very knowledgeable and made it very interesting and fun

I think the best way to get familiar with a place is to imprint your marks on it. There should be at least 77,000 of my footprints on the islands of Venice. When I was dashing through the Jewish ghetto, I just noticed that this particular quiet neighborhood hangs laundries on the clothes line for sun, wind or air dry. I especially admire their practices to save for the welfare of planet earth and our children. A little extra effort goes a long way.
