One of the most captivating tours we took in Venice was the tour of synagogues in the Venetian Ghetto offered by the Jewish Museum (Museo Ebraico). The Venetian Ghetto is located in the Cannaregio district of the UNESCO World Heritage city.
The Venetian Ghetto is the world’s original Jewish ghetto. It’s located in the sestiere (district) of Cannaregio in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Venice, Italy.
Our time in Cannaregio was mostly limited to walking to and from the Venetian Ghetto. Cannaregio is one of the six districts (sestieri) of the UNESCO World Heritage city of Venice, Italy.
The Rialto Market is in the district (sestiere) of San Polo, just over the Rialto Bridge. It has been the main market of the UNESCO World Heritage city of Venice, Italy, since 1097.
The Church of San Zaccaria (Chiesa di San Zaccaria) is a church in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Venice, Italy. It’s located in the district (sestiere) of Castello.
If you visit Venice and don’t take a gondola ride, then you haven’t visited Venice. I know, it’s a totally touristy thing to do, but one of the first things that comes to mind when thinking about Venice are gondolas.
I tried three different times to visit the Church of Saint George of the Greeks (Chiesa di San Giorgio dei Greci, Ἅγιος Γεώργιος τῶν Ἑλλήνων) but it was closed each time.
Campo Santa Maria Formosa is a square in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Venice, Italy. It’s located in the district (sestiere) of Castello. We stayed just around the corner from the square but didn’t really explore it until our last day in the city.
Castello is the largest of the six districts (sestiere) of the UNESCO World Heritage city of Venice, Italy. Although we stayed in Castello just off Campo Santa Maria Formosa, we didn’t really explore it until our last two days in the city.
Torcello is an island included in the UNESCO World Heritage listing for Venice and its Lagoon. It’s only about 45 minutes away from Venice on a vaporetto.
