Tour in the Jewish Ghetto

Your day begins in the quiet yet storied heart of the Venetian Ghetto. Surrounded by tall, narrow houses and serene canals, immerse yourself in the history of Europe’s first ghetto. Learn about the communities that flourished here despite restrictions, and admire the façades of the Great German, Spanish, and Levantine Synagogues.

Strolling Through Hidden Venice

Depart the Ghetto and wind through intimate calli (narrow lanes) and quiet campi (small squares). This route reveals Venice’s daily life—clotheslines swaying above canals, artisans at work, and unexpected architectural treasures. Along the way, there’s time for a quick taste of cicchetti or a sweet pastry from a local bakery.

The Rialto Bridge & Market

Arrive at the lively Rialto district, where the city’s mercantile soul has thrived for over eight centuries. Pause on the iconic Rialto Bridge for panoramic views of the Grand Canal, then step into the bustling market, alive with the scent of the sea and the colors of seasonal produce.

Towards St. Mark’s Basin

Continue your walk along elegant canalside routes, passing centuries-old palazzi and charming bridges, until the skyline opens into the grandeur of St. Mark’s Basin. Along this approach, glimpses of gondolas, church domes, and historic façades create a living postcard.

Doge’s Palace Exploration

Enter the magnificent Doge’s Palace, seat of the Venetian Republic’s political and judicial power for centuries. Discover the opulent chambers, the Great Council Hall adorned by Veronese, and the chambers of the Doge himself. Cross the Bridge of Sighs into the palace’s historic prison, where whispers of Venice’s past still echo.

Tour Concludes at St. Mark’s Square

End your tour in the splendor of Piazza San Marco, surrounded by the Basilica, the Bell Tower, the Clock Tower, and the two columns that have greeted visitors for centuries. This is the perfect spot to linger, sip an espresso, or simply absorb the beauty of Venice’s heart.
