Haunted Stories & Mysterious Tales at Sunset with Spritz

Step into the darker side of Venice with an evening walking tour through Cannaregio, a district far from the main tourist routes and rich in mystery, crime history, and ghostly lore.

The tour begins near the entrance of the historic Jewish Ghetto, the oldest in Europe. As twilight settles, your guide leads you through quiet squares and narrow passageways, sharing stories of persecution, tragic deaths, unsolved crimes, and spirits said to still wander the area after dark.

Along dimly lit canals and secret alleys, you’ll discover a Venice few visitors encounter—atmospheric, silent, and deeply evocative. Halfway through, the tour pauses at a traditional Venetian locanda for a relaxing break. Here, you’ll enjoy a classic Venetian Spritz paired with two authentic cicchetti, the local small bites typical of aperitivo hour. This tasting offers a pleasant counterpoint to the evening’s eerie narratives and a chance to experience Venetian food culture as locals do.

After the refreshment stop, the walk continues deeper into Cannaregio, where more ghost stories, crime legends, and unexplained events await. The experience concludes within the district, leaving you with a new perspective on Venice’s hidden past—unsettling, fascinating, and unforgettable.
