Around Rialto Bridge
The Rialto district represents the earliest urban and commercial core of Venice that has shaped the city’s identity for centuries.

Jewish Ghetto Tour
Founded in 1516, the Jewish Ghetto of Venice earns its grim little footnote in European history as the first place officially designated as a “ghetto.” It began as a Venetian compromise with sharp edges: the Papacy urged to expel the Jews, while Venice-never one to waste a useful population-chose to confine them to a small island.
