Murano Glass, Burano Lace, and Torcello Island Adventure
Overview
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.
