A trip to Venice — the complete guide for the observant traveler

Two days in Venice: the world's first Jewish ghetto in the Cannaregio district, the Doge's Palace and the Rialto Bridge — all on foot or by vaporetto, the city's water bus.

The suggested day-by-day itinerary

Day 1 — The Venice Ghetto

The Jewish Museum, a tour of the historic synagogues, and a meal at Gam Gam on the Cannaregio canal — one of the prettiest spots in the city.

Day 2 — San Marco & Rialto

The Doge's Palace, St Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge, and a meal before Shabbat.

Where to eat

A short gondola ride, or the Grand Canal on vaporetto line 1 — the best way to see the waterfront palaces up close.
