One of the many ways to get to know a new culture, is by tasting its traditional food. In Venice, not only you can discover the Venetian traditions, but also the Jewish ones. In fact the majority of the Jewish population used to live in the district that is today known as the Jewish ghetto. With a local English-speaking guide, you will discover old traditions where the Venetian and Jewish culture blend together perfectly. The tour will start in the Cannareggio quarter. Next you will reach the Old Ghetto and explore the old traditions that are kept alive to this day. Once in the Jewish Ghetto you will taste some Sarde al Saor and Artichoke bottoms, all combined with some delicious wine. Last but not least, you will stop in an antique bakery to taste some typical desserts and biscuits, such as: Zaeti and Brunarelli. No Kosher food.
Your tour takes you across Cannaregio, which is home to an abundance of canals, Gothic churches, dainty bridges, and so much more.
The Jewish Ghetto in Venetian dialect is called “Gheto Vecio”. Here you will see the Rabbi’s house and historic synagogues (outside), and taste traditional Jewish-Venetian dishes.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
