♡ Save
Join us and discover the most intriguing side of Venice! Tour Cannaregio, the neighborhood where Venetians live, and immerse yourself in its legends, crimes, and hidden secrets. Explore its most iconic spots and experience the magic and mystery of Venice.
The City of Venice requires tour groups to use headphones. The tour guide will hand them out at the start of the tour in exchange for a €15 deposit, which will be refunded at the end.
We’ll begin our tour next to the Church of San Simeone Piccolo, and from there we’ll visit one of Venice’s least-known and most beautiful neighborhoods: Cannareggio.
We’ll take a route through the area’s most beautiful sites, such as the Church of Santa Maria del Orto, Campo dei Mori, Tintoretto’s House, and the Chiodo Bridge, and we’ll discover Venice’s most intriguing mysteries through its buildings. We’ll end our tour in front of the cemetery, next to the Casino degli Spiriti.
