In the heart of Cannaregio, just a short walk from Hotel Alle Guglie, lies one of the most fascinating places in Venice: the Jewish Ghetto, the oldest in the world.
What to see in the Jewish Ghetto
The Ghetto is divided into three areas: the Old Ghetto, the New Ghetto, and the Newest Ghetto. Don’t miss the Jewish Museum of Venice, the five historic synagogues, Campo del Ghetto Nuovo, and the Shoah bas-reliefs by Arbit Blatas.
A place of culture and everyday life
The Ghetto is a living neighborhood, still home to families today, filled with shops, art studios, bookstores and kosher restaurants. Buildings here are taller than elsewhere in Venice due to historically limited living space.
How to get there from Hotel Alle Guglie
The Jewish Ghetto is just a 10-minute walk from our hotel, along Strada Nova and then down Fondamenta di Cannaregio.
