Jewish Travel in Europe

Jewish Travel in Europe Venice Ghetto

ABOVE: Ghetto Nuovo, Venice. (See my Venice for Visitors article on the Venetian Ghetto.)

A while ago, a reader complained about the fact that I had several pages devoted to Jewish travel in Europe. He found the idea "offensive," apparently because he thought I was giving special treatment to Jews. I calmly pointed out two reasons why the pages were needed:

First, because Jews who observe dietary laws are understandably concerned about they might find a kosher restaurant in London, Paris, or Berlin, and...

Second, because it can be hard for Jewish travelers of European descent to find more than passing references to their own heritage in guidebooks, which (not surprisingly) focus on Christian history, art, and culture.

In the following pages, Jewish travelers will find practical resources (e.g., lists of kosher restaurants) and information on Jewish communities--both past and present--in Western Europe..
