Label lovers will drool over the high-end shopping in Piazza San Marco.

Dating back to the 16th-century, this is the oldest Jewish Ghetto in the world with its five synagogues, which are the oldest still existing.

When you describe the experience of visiting Venice, it seems to always include St Mark', the Doge's Palace, the Rialto Bridge, the Grand Canal and perhaps a day in Murano across the lagoon. We stayed in the Canneregio neighborhood and enjoyed a part of Venice that is a little removed from the main tourist areas. It is also where the Jewish ghetto is and we found it to be a very interesting place to wander about and explore. The story of Jews in Venice is fascinating. Our visit to the Jewish museum on the Campo del Ghetto Nuovo gave us a better understanding of the role that Jews played in the social and economic history of Venice. The tour they offer of the old synagogues in the ghetto is also excellent to help understand the religious traditions Jews brought to Venice. As in other parts of Venice, there are canals, narrow streets, and squares; but here there are also old gates intended to lock in residents of the ghetto after dark. There is also an excellent kosher restaurant, Gam Gam, nearby that serves some really good food and should not be missed. Right down the street from the restaurant is a wonderful pastry shop .... another reason to visit the ghetto.

This is a beautiful church and well worth the time to visit to see the marble panelling inside and the ornate roof decoration. Not as big or imposing as some of the others but in that lies its beauty.

Saint Mark's is beautiful and gets all the tourists, but Venezia has so many beautiful churches located in the campos. This one is located in Campo Santi Apostoli. It was located across the street from the Airbnb we rented. It was lovely to hear the church bells ringing. This is one of the oldest churches in the city and it's worth it to stop in and spend a few minutes in the beautiful church.
