The Jewish Ghetto: Hebrews, Muslims & Christians
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.

The guide will provide one at the beginning of the tour. Since it is a free tour and the hearing aid is expensive, a deposit of € 10 is required, which must be given to the guide at the beginning of the tour, and the same guide will return to you at the end when he gives you the hearing aid. It is mandatory to bring a hearing aid and pay the deposit to take the tour.
