Take a trip to Murano for the exquisite glasswork, Burano for lace and Torcello for Venice’s first cathedral – the islands in the lagoon in Venice make for some very engaging sightseeing.

Murano has been producing beautiful crystal since the 10th century when Venetian traders brought back the secrets of production from the East. Burano with its pastel-coloured fishermen’s cottages is as pretty as the lace it is famous for. Beautiful mosaics at Torcello’s cathedral, Santa Maria Assunta, add to the beauty of this Byzantine structure.

This tour gives you the chance to explore the beauty and heritage of Murano, Burano and Torcello first hand.

Customer reviews

This was such a wonderful experience. The glass factory was amazing and kept our 5 & 2 year olds' attention the whole time. It was absolutely amazing and I'd definitely recommend...

Itinerary

The tour departs from the ticket booth in front of the Prison Palace (close to the Doges Palace), "look for a yellow desk", from where you will be taken to board your boat.

After sailing past the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, the public Gardens, the tip of Sant'Elena and the Lido (the famous beach resort), the boat arrives at Murano, the most famous and most visited Venetian island for the exquisite glasswork produced here. You will take a tour of the Murano glass factory.

Proceed to the island of Burano, which is famous for its lace industry. This pretty fishing village has many streets and canals lined with bright, pastel-coloured houses.

Visit the delightful island of Torcello, home to Venice’s first cathedral. The cathedral, Santa Fosca, is a masterpiece with its mosaics and Byzantine structure.

After your tour, re-board the motor launch to cross the lagoon back to Venice. The tour ends at the original starting point.
