Additional Information

Embark on a fantastic excursion aboard an elegant boat, guided throughout the journey to explore the Venetian Lagoon and its most beautiful islands: Murano and Burano.

Departing from Piazza San Marco, you’ll head north to your first stop, Murano. Renowned since the 1200s for its exquisite glassmaking, you’ll visit the island and witness a live glassmaking demonstration where master artisans create stunning vases, glasses, and other intricate shapes, showcasing Murano’s traditional craftsmanship.

After exploring Murano, you’ll continue to Burano, celebrated for its vibrant fishermen’s houses. According to legend, the bright colors were chosen to make the houses easily recognizable through the thick winter fog.
