Murano & Burano Self-Guided Tour

Enjoy a relaxing day afloat in the beautiful Venetian Lagoon. We'll travel by boat to two of the most beautiful islands located here: Murano and Burano. On the first island, you'll have the chance to watch a live demonstration of traditional glassblowing.

Boat to Murano & Burano

We'll meet at the indicated time at a central pier in Venice and board our tour boat, which will take us around the Venetian Lagoon. After a relaxing cruise, during which the multilingual guides will teach you about its history, we'll stop at the island of Murano for about 45 minutes to visit a glass factory and watch a live demonstration of glassblowing.

Continuing our boat tour, we'll head to the island of Burano. You will have approximately an hour and a half of free time to explore its patchwork of colored houses and its cultural and artistic heritage, known especially for its crochet work and lace. You'll have the opportunity to visit a lace museum and various shops selling this craft.

We will regroup at the Burano pier to return to Venice, concluding the activity at either the Santa Lucia Pier or the Riva degli Schiavioni Pier, as per your choice.
