The quiet north where Venetians actually live — long sunny canals, the old Jewish Ghetto, and the best strip of cicchetti bars in the city along the Fondamenta della Misericordia. Handy for the station and blessedly free of crowds.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 5.The Grand Canal by vaporetto — The world's most beautiful main street, and you ride it for the price of a bus ticket. Take the number 1 slow boat from the station to San Marco, grab a rail seat at the back, and watch 200 palaces slide past the water.
- 8.Cicchetti & an ombra — Venice's answer to tapas — little plates of fried seafood, baccalà and bread, eaten standing at a bacaro with a small glass of wine (an 'ombra'). Hop three or four bars along Cannaregio's canal; this is dinner, done the local way.
- 9.The Jewish Ghetto & Cannaregio — The original ghetto — the word was coined here in 1516 — now a quiet, moving square of tall houses and old synagogues, ringed by the city's most local canals. The best aimless wander in Venice, crowds nowhere in sight.
