With this private guided tour, you'll discover the hidden Venice, the authentic one in its everyday life. The Cannaregio district is definitely the most populated area of Venice: in fact, this is where most of the city's residents live, and it's the most authentic part of the city. This neighborhood is also a treasure trove of incredible treasures, wonders of art and architecture.

You'll visit the famous Jewish ghetto, which still characterizes an entire area of the Cannaregio district: the Jews hosted in Venice gave rise to what became the first Jewish ghetto in history, a term now used in all languages. The heart of the ghetto is undoubtedly the Campo del Ghetto Nuovo, which you can access via a magnificent cast-iron bridge surrounded by two symmetrical red-brick sentry boxes, a symbol and reminder of forced isolation and surveillance. And then there's Campo del Ghetto Vecchio, which is actually newer than Campo del Ghetto Nuovo.

Crossing the Campo dei Mori, the Cannaregio district offers a truly incredible scenic surprise: from a narrow space enclosed by tall buildings, one of Venice's religious buildings suddenly appears, the Church of the Madonna dell'Orto, which you can access by crossing a simple stone bridge.
The visual impact is magnificent and exciting, because the Church reveals itself in all its imposing mass and with its red mantle.
