The Jewish Ghetto: Hebrews, Muslims and Christians in Venice

Overview of the tour in Venice

On this tour, we are going to visit Venice completely inaccessible to tourists, but quite beautiful and interesting. The tour consists of two parts, the first part passes through the Jewish quarter, considered the oldest “Ghetto” in the world, we will walk through the narrow streets of this neighborhood, where there are plenty of Koscher food restaurants, Jewish bookstores, and artisan shops with all kinds of Hebrew motifs. We will pass by its five synagogues, the Hebrew Museum, and the “Rosso bank” (the oldest in the world). In the second part of the tour, we will visit the oldest neighborhood in the city and the place where the few citizens who live in Venice continue to live: El Barrio de la Misericordia, where we will discover what the daily life of Venetians is like.
