Is Cannaregio & the Jewish Ghetto worth it as a couple?
Worth itAs a couple
As a couple, Cannaregio & the Jewish Ghetto works.
Cannaregio is where Venetians actually live — long sunny canal-side fondamente lined with bacari (cicchetti bars), and the historic Jewish Ghetto, the very place the word comes from, with its tall tenements, five synagogues and a moving museum. The catch: it's a district to absorb slowly, not a single sight to tick, and the Ghetto's depth needs a guided synagogue tour to land.
Venice's Jewish Ghetto, established in 1516, is the origin of the word 'ghetto'; its restricted land forced unusually tall buildings. · model-knowledge
Cannaregio's Fondamenta della Misericordia and dei Ormesini are a hub of bacari serving cicchetti and ombra (small wine). · model-knowledge
