Murano & Burano Self-Guided Tour

Enjoy a relaxing day afloat in the beautiful Venetian Lagoon. We'll travel by boat to two beautiful islands: Murano and Burano. On Murano, you'll see a live demonstration of traditional glassblowing.

Boat to Murano & Burano

We'll meet at a central pier in Venice and board our tour boat to explore the Venetian Lagoon. After a cruise, our first stop will be the island of Murano, known for its traditional glass-making industry dating back to the Middle Ages. We'll spend about 45 minutes visiting a glass factory and watching a live demonstration.

Next, we will head to the island of Burano, where you'll have approximately 1.5 hours to explore its colorful houses and cultural heritage. This island is renowned for its crochet work and lace, with opportunities to visit a lace museum and various shops.
