Traveler reviews
Travis Hydzik
★★★★★6 months agoThe Ghetto Ebraico is an absolute must-visit that is well worth the effort, even if you’re navigating the square with suitcases in tow. It is a profound experience to stand where the word "ghetto" actually originated- derived from the Venetian word for "foundry"." Make sure to look for the "Banco Rosso" (Red Bank), which is known as the oldest bank in the world and still stands as a striking piece of living history. Reading up on the area's significance beforehand adds a deep layer of meaning to the visit that goes far beyond the architecture.

★★★★★11 months agoWe took the Jewish Ghetto walking tour starting at 10:30. It was brilliant to see the place and understand the history of the place too. Was a much quieter part of Venice away from the hustle bustle of other parts of Venice. We came across many small restaurants to eat and drink which we went back to after the walk. Would definitely recommend the free walking tour, our guide Lucia was very knowledgeable and made it very interesting and fun
