The Jewish ghetto is one of the city's most charming and historic areas with an abundance of canals, Gothic churches and dainty bridges.

We'll also see the rabbi’s house and historic synagogues, take in enchanting views of Venice at night with its churches standing out against the canals, while sipping sparkling wine.
