Campo del Ghetto Nuovo is the heart of Venice's Jewish ghetto, a quiet square just a few minutes' walk from the train station. It hosts the Jewish Museum, three ancient synagogues and the Jewish community's nursing home for the elderly.
Not far from the square is a kosher hotel and a kosher restaurant. In the past two decades, Venice's ghetto — one of Europe's oldest neighborhoods where Jews were forced to live segregated from Christians, and the first one to be called a "ghetto" — has become popular with international visitors, especially American Jews.
