Cannaregio is the city’s most residential sestiere: the Ghetto, the bacari of the Fondamenta della Misericordia, the Ca’ d’Oro on the Grand Canal and, on the Strada Nova, the new Orient Express Venezia.
The Ghetto
The Ghetto Nuovo and its campo, the historic heart of Venice’s Jewish community.
The fondamente
The Ormesini and the Misericordia, lined with bacari, lead to the Madonna dell’Orto.
Come for an evening of cicchetti along the canals.
Our advice: walk here in the evening, when the locals come out.
