Murano & Burano Self-Guided Tour

Enjoy a relaxing day afloat in the beautiful Venetian Lagoon, visiting two of its picturesque islands: Murano and Burano. On Murano, you'll have the chance to see a live demonstration of traditional glassblowing.

Boat to Murano & Burano

Meet at the designated time at a central pier in Venice to board the tour boat that will take us around the lagoon. After a cruise with multilingual guides who will share the history of the lagoon, we'll stop for about 45 minutes on Murano, renowned for its ancient glass-making industry. You will visit a glass factory and witness a live glassblowing demonstration.

Next, we will head to Burano, where you will have approximately an hour and a half of free time to discover its colorful houses and rich cultural heritage, particularly its renowned crochet and lace work, known locally as merletti. You can visit the lace museum and explore various shops.

We will regroup at the Burano pier for our return to Venice, concluding at either the Santa Lucia Pier or the Riva degli Schiavioni Pier, based on your preference.
