Populated by more locals than tourists, Cannaregio is the site of Venice’s historic Jewish Ghetto, and the neighbourhood has a lively and authentic atmosphere which is thanks to its location off the tourist track.
Stay here to get an idea of how the local Venetians really live - there are also plenty of local sights that are worthwhile to visit. Alongside the Jewish Ghetto, visitors staying in the neighbourhood will have easy access to the jaw-dropping Ca d’Oro and the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli, which is a masterclass in Venice’s Renaissance architecture.
