Venice's GhettoPage 4
Where to stay and dineThere are now two hotels on the Campo del Ghetto Nuovo:
Gam Gam is a kosher restaurant with Venetian, Italian and Israeli dishes on its extensive menu. You can dine in or order kosher meals for takeout or delivery to your hotel. (See our Gam-Gam restaurant review.) Reaching the GhettoWalk or take the vaporetto (water bus) to the Ponte delle Guglie/Ghetto stop on the Fondamenta di Cannaregio, just above the Ponte delle Guglie bridge. You'll see a low rectangular arched doorway next to the Gam Gam restaurant. Go through the arch, and you'll be in the Ghetto Vecchio. Keep on walking to reach the larger (and older) Ghetto Nuovo, where you'l also find the Jewish Community Museum. Need clearer instructions? See the map and directions for the old Al Faro, a trattoria-pizzeria in the Ghetto Nuovo that closed in early 1998. (It later reopened under new ownership.) If you're coming on foot from the Piazza San Marco or Rialto, you can turn right from the Rio Ter� S. Leonardo or the Rio Ter� Farsetti and work your way toward the Calle Farnese and its bridge (see photo above). Or, if you're coming from the Madonna dell'Orto Church or its vaporetto stop, head west on the Fondamenta degli Ormesini until you see a small footbridge leading to the Campo Ghetto Nuovo. Web links
