Cannaregio
Cannaregio
A short distance from the bustle of the train station, Cannaregio offers some of the quietest and prettiest canal-side walks in town. You won't see any great-looking palaces, but the colorful boats and picturesque canals make up for the lack of architectural splendor. Too few visitors see the parish church of Renaissance painter Tintoretto, Chiesa della Madonna dell'Orto. And it seems only younger folks in search of wine and live music tread the Fondamenta della Misericordia after dark. The Jewish Ghetto has a fascinating history and tradition all its own. Here you can take a tour of some of the world's oldest synagogues and eat and drink kosher.
