Morning
Begin the day with the Galleria Franchetti in the lovely Ca d’Oro , but leave plenty of time for the balconies which overlook the Grand Canal and the mosaics in the courtyard. Afterwards follow Strada Nova in the direction of the railway station to the Bottega del Caffè (Calle del Pistor, Cannaregio 1903 041 714 232 Closed Sat pm & Sun) for the best coffee in Cannaregio. Only minutes away is the fascinating Jewish Ghetto , where you can take a guided tour to the many remaining synagogues in the area.
For a revitalising break, lunch at Hostaria alla Fontana is recommended (Fondamenta di Cannaregio, Cannaregio 1102 041 715 077 Closed Sun).
Afternoon
Wander up the canal towards Ponte dei Tre Archi and the Chiesa di San Giobbe. Return back over the bridge and make your way to Fondamenta della Sacca, which affords good views of the Dolomites in clear conditions. Many ways lead east from here, but try and take in the church of Madonna dell’Orto for the Tintoretto paintings, then Campo dei Mori .
Back on Strada Nova, an energetic young team awaits at La Cantina with a pre-dinner glass of wine from their north Italian range (Strada Nova, Cannaregio 3689 041 522 82 58 Closed Sun).
