Description
Fancy a "Merchant of Venice" experience?
The itinerary will wind through streets, bridges and small squares from your hotel (or where you prefer) to Ghetto Novissimo, Novo and Vechio (the newest, the new and the old). You will learn all my secrets about the world's first officially recognized Jewish settlement with its rules and every-lively-day life in a tolerant and cosmopolitan 16th century Venice.
Strolling through Cannaregio area I will show you the real city where locals shop for food at small open air markets or take a break with a "spritz" (before-meals cocktail) and a "cicheto" (typical Venitian tapa).
According to the meeting point most suitable for you we can approach the area either from east or west but not to worry: you won't miss a thing!
