Ca’ Longo Palace Velluto Apartment

Venice has six districts, known as “sestieri”. Cannaregio is the most populated districted after the one of Castello. It includes the entire northern part of the city all the way to Campo SS. Giovanni e Paolo, extending from the train station to almost the Rialto Bridge. In this district, you find the Venetian Ghetto, the oldest Jewish ghetto in the world, still inhabited today by a very prominent and active Jewish community. Three of its five synagogues are open to visits, and its Jewish Museum is very interesting as it tells the story of the community’s settlement in Venice. Strada Nuova is the grand artery of the city, lined with shops, cafes, and restaurants. Furthermore, its smaller side streets lead you to Fondamenta degli Ormesini and Rio della Misericordia. In the evening, before dinner, this area is quite lively, becoming a reference point for Venetian aperitifs with its many small bars with open terraces overlooking the Rio.
