Venice/Cannaregio

Cannaregio is one six sestieri (districts) that make up Venice. For many travellers, it's the first part of Venice they enter, since Venezia Santa Lucia railway station, the main railway station, is here. Most of the district is residential, with slightly less tourists - and sights - compared to other parts of the city. However, for those interested in the history of Jewish life in Venice, the historic Jewish ghetto is within the district.

Get around
Cannareggio is best explored on foot.

Sleep
There's a small cluster of hotels in the alleys next to the railway station which is sightly cheaper compared to other parts of the city.
