"All the beauty and history of venice...no crowds" Ghetto Tip by SFNinja

When you go to Venice, take a little while to go to the Jewish Ghetto. It contains a few shops, three synagogues, and a great resteurant, and usually has very few tourists. From the train station, take a left and walk down that street until you see signs for the Ghetto. It's really close to the station. While your there, look at the fine jewlery and silversmith shops, I purchased a great silver necklace for twenty euros. There is a museum that gives tours for eight euros about the history of the Ghetto and the Synagogues. For a long time, the walls to the ghetto were closed, business was restricted, and the residents werent allowed to leave. Hence, a very tight knit community grew within the walls. Everyone is very open and friendly with outsiders and English, Italian, German, and Hebrew is spoken by most residents. The ghetto is a fascinating and often forgotten part of Venice.
