Campo del Ghetto Nuovo

The six-room Locanda del Ghetto is on the Campo del Ghetto Nuovo, a pleasant square in the heart of Europe's original ghetto ebraico. (See our illustrated article.)

The inn is next to the Italian synagogue and the Jewish Museum of Venice. A kosher breakfast is included in the rates.

How to reach Locanda del Ghetto from the Guglie airport-boat stop (Alilaguna Linea Arancio):

  2. Go through the passage and walk straight ahead (with the occasional jog) past the Majer bakery and over a small bridge.

  3. After crossing the bridge, you'll be in the Campo del Ghetto Nuovo. The Locanda del Ghetto will be on your right as you enter the square, next to a portico.

Map of route from Venice Santa Lucia Railroad Station to Ponte delle Guglie

ABOVE: This map shows the route from Venezia Santa Lucia Railroad Station to the Ponte delle Guglie on the Cannaregio Canal. Walking time is 5 to 10 minutes over level ground.

  1. Leave the railroad station by the marble steps outside the main doors, or by the easy-to-miss (and conveniently stair-free) side exit if you have rolling luggage, a stroller, or a wheelchair.

  2. When you reach the wide fondamenta or pavement in front of the station, turn left.

  3. Walk past the Scalzi Church and the Scalzi Bridge toward the Lista di Spagna (a busy pedestrian thoroughfare).

  4. Continue down the Lista di Spagna and through the Camp San Geremia to the Ponte delle Guglie, a stone bridge that arches over the Cannaregio Canal.

  5. Cross the bridge and immediately turn left.

  6. Walk until you reach the passage to the Ghetto, which is just before the Gam Gam restaurant.

  7. Go through the passage and walk straight ahead (with the occasional jog) past the Majer bakery to a small bridge.

  8. Cross the bridge, which leads into the Campo del Ghetto Nuovo. The Locanda del Ghetto will be on your right as you enter the square, underneath a portico.
