Itinerary
You'll step into a bakery that has fed this neighborhood since 1905, biting into a warm slice of pizza piled with mortadella, pesto, and buffalo mozzarella, your first taste of Cannaregio life.
Settle into a cozy bacaro for a glass of chilled DOCG prosecco alongside a savory meatball and polenta topped with shrimp in saor, Venice's classic sweet-and-sour marinade of onions and vinegar.
You'll stroll past Ponte Chiodo, Venice's only bridge without railings, and the quiet Misericordia canal, taking in the residential, unhurried side of Cannaregio, far from the crowded main routes.
Step inside a working winery for a creamy artichoke risotto paired with a local wine or beer, a dish that balances centuries of Venetian tradition with a distinctly modern touch.
You'll pass through Europe's oldest Jewish Ghetto, learning how this quiet campo shaped centuries of Venetian history and remains a living, breathing part of the neighborhood today.
This is where the spritz hour truly begins, with a demonstration of how it's made followed by your own glass, paired with traditional cicchetti like codfish and sardines.
You'll close the tour with a seasonal sweet, a silky tiramisu from November to March or a fresh, creamy gelato from March to October, Venice's favorite way to end the afternoon.

About Venice
Venice floats on a lagoon of more than a hundred islands, a city of canals, palaces and bridges with no cars, where every walk ends somewhere unexpected.
The Grand Canal sweeps through the city in a great reversed S, lined with palaces and crossed by the Rialto Bridge. Near its mouth, Piazza San Marco gathers St Mark's Basilica with its golden mosaics, the Doge's Palace, the Bridge of Sighs and the tall brick campanile. Water buses and gondolas show the city from the angle it was built to be seen.
Top-ranked sights in Venice: St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), St. Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco), Grand Canal.
