Venice Like a Local: Jewish Ghetto Food, Wine and Cicchetti
This tour is a journey through flavours, fascinating history, and centuries of Jewish-Venetian life. Come for 15 delicious tastings, and leave with a deeper understanding of one of Venice’s most remarkable neighbourhoods. Learn what everyday life was like for the Jewish families who lived here for centuries. How did they preserve their traditions, practise their religion, and build a vibrant community despite the restrictions placed upon them? Why do some buildings rise unusually high above the surrounding neighbourhood? And what fascinating stories are still hidden behind these historic walls? In Campo del Ghetto Nuovo, discover Banco Rosso, once a Jewish-run pawn bank where Venetians could borrow money against valuables. But why were these banks so important to Venice, and what do they reveal about the relationship between the Jewish community and the Venetian Republic.

Where this sits in Venice
Venice is about 11 min by road from Venice Marco Polo Airport. Extraordinary and genuinely crowded, and the two are easy to reconcile: stay the night. The day trippers leave around six, and the city that is left — quiet canals, lit windows, footsteps — is the one worth coming for.
