  • Before we went to venice we studied our Lonely Planet and decided we would explore as much of venice as we could.

    We visited the Sotoporto Ghetto which was the first ever Jewish Ghetto. The buildings are still the traditional 7 storeys high and all the Jews in Venice were forced to move into there in the early 20 Century. Well worth a visit if you want to get away from the hoards of tourists elsewhere.

    After here there is a nice canal to wander down through the other side of the area.

     What you have written is very helpful indeed. I have read many travel tips on Venice but I can't remember somebody has cared to write about the price for the ride. This info is useful really since not everybody goes there for honeymoon. Tnx Zoe-Michelle!
