Description:

Explore the historic Jewish Quarter of Venice, and taste the local tradition of cicchetti (appetizers) on this take a breaking stroll through the neighborhood. Walk away from the more crowded sites and enjoy an authentic taste of Venice.

Wander down the historic streets of the Jewish Quarter in the evening when the canals are at their most picturesque. This area served as inspiration for Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, and today the Jewish Ghetto is still an active center for the Jewish community.

Discover the traditional open-air market, the place where locals get their daily supplies of fish, vegetables, and fruit. Then visit some of the most popular wine bars in the city—bàcari—to sample regional wines and cicchetti. Like Spanish tapas, cicchetti are bite-size versions of local delicacies—fried meatballs, creamy codfish mousse, or a creative bruschetta. You can always find the best of the day’s market in these one-of-a-kind creations.
