Step off the beaten path and discover one of Venice’s most fascinating and lesser-known districts: the Jewish Ghetto, the first of its kind in the world.

On this virtual stroll, we’ll wander through quiet campi and narrow alleyways where history, culture, and memory intertwine. You’ll hear the stories of how the Ghetto was created, learn curious details about daily life in the past, and notice symbols that only locals tend to recognize. We’ll also touch on the traces left by World War II and how they are remembered today.

From hidden synagogues to unique Venetian “skyscrapers,” from Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice to Napoleon’s symbolic gestures, every corner reveals something unexpected. And as we end, we’ll enjoy a glimpse of Cannaregio — a district beloved by Venetians for its authentic atmosphere of bridges, canals, and community life.

This tour is a journey through history, culture, and resilience, offering you a new perspective on Venice that goes far beyond its famous landmarks.
