Itinerary

Jewish Ghetto of Venice Tour
- Meet your tour guide in the "Campo del Ghetto", where we can also see a small Holocaust memorial made by Arbit Blatas and brass plaques in the paving outside doorways where Jews were arrested and sent to German camps during WWII.
- Visit the famous Jewish Ghetto of Venice. Founded in 1516, the Jewish Ghetto in Venice was the oldest of its kind in all Europe. Today the Ghetto is enjoying something of a revival. It is worth a walk-through, as it comprises a Jewish school, great bookshops, a kosher restaurant, a Jewish bakery and some amazing old synagogues that you must visit – even if from the outside only.
