Murano Glass, Burano Lace, and Torcello Island Adventure

Set off on a marvelous excursion aboard an elegant boat, with a hostess who will provide commentary throughout the trip, leading you to discover the Venetian Lagoon and its most beautiful islands: Murano and Burano.

Starting from Piazza San Marco, you will journey towards the northern part of the Venetian Lagoon, arriving at Murano, the first stop. Known since the 1200s for its intricate glassmaking, you’ll explore the town and witness a glassblowing demonstration where skilled craftsmen create vases, glasses, and other stunning forms, showcasing Murano’s traditional artistry.

Following your visit to Murano, we will continue to Burano, celebrated for its colorful fishermen’s houses, which, according to legend, were painted in bright colors to be identifiable in the thick winter fog. As you walk through the town, you’ll see elderly women crafting lace by hand and have the opportunity to taste the local dessert, bussolà.

Known for its long history of glassmaking, Murano Island attracts visitors arriving by ferry to see the Museo del Vetro, which details the evolution of glass across centuries, and to buy unique local crafts. The Romanesque Church of Santa Maria and San Donato features a vibrant mosaic floor and is believed to contain the bones of a vanquished dragon.

Positioned in the Venetian Lagoon, Burano, much like its neighbor Venice which is seven kilometers to the south, comprises several small islands linked by bridges. Located near Torcello at the northern edge of the lagoon, Burano is celebrated for its intricate glass and lace-making.
