Ghetto → Misericordia

Walk from the Ghetto to Misericordia and stop at a bacaro

Begin with the Ghetto's history while daylight remains, then follow Ormesini and Misericordia as the neighborhood moves into aperitivo time.

Why it is worth doing

Cannaregio combines religious history, lived-in streets and evening life without requiring a monument checklist. The route from the Ghetto to the fondamente reveals several layers of Venice.

How to plan it

  1. 01

    Start in Campo del Ghetto Nuovo in the late afternoon.

  2. 02

    For synagogues or the museum, check dates, Saturdays and Jewish holidays in advance.

  3. 03

    Follow Fondamenta degli Ormesini to Misericordia without searching for the shortest route.

  4. 04

    Stop at one or two bacari, order a few cicchetti at a time and keep walking.

Local tips

  • The Ghetto is a living place of memory, not a stage set.
  • At bacari, use the counter to order and leave room for regular customers.
  • The main fondamente stay active after dinner, while side lanes can become very quiet.
