You will meet your guide in front of the Ex Cinema Teatro Italia in Cannaregio opened in 1916 as a grand theater and cinema, with striking Art Nouveau and Neo-Gothic details. Today, it’s been transformed into a supermarket while preserving frescoed ceilings and ornate décor—making it one of Venice’s most surprising hidden gems.

Venice Jewish Ghetto is a historic and culturally rich area in Cannaregio, established in 1516 as the world’s first ghetto. Today, it remains a vibrant neighborhood with centuries-old synagogues, Jewish museums, traditional bakeries, and artisan shops. Walking through its quiet courtyards and narrow streets offers a unique glimpse into Venetian history, heritage, and daily life.

Cannaregio is one of Venice’s most authentic and atmospheric districts, where local life blends with centuries of history. Famous for its charming canals, lively bacari (wine bars), and the historic Jewish Ghetto—the first of its kind in the world—Cannaregio offers a more relaxed vibe away from the busiest tourist routes. Stroll along quiet streets, discover artisan shops, and soak in the real Venetian atmosphere.
