Departure from the Fusina terminal, near Punta Fusina, with a shuttle to Venice that will make stops near Santa Lucia railway station and San Marco - Pontile Cornoldi: here you will change boats and begin the tour of the evocative Venetian lagoon.
The first stop is Murano, renowned worldwide for the art of glassmaking. Following the guidance of the onboard guide, you will visit a local furnace and watch a live demonstration by a master glassmaker, observing skills and techniques up close. You will have approximately one hour on the island to explore the workshops and purchase authentic artisan glass objects.
You will then continue to Burano, famous for traditional lace and its brightly colored houses: here you will have about two hours of free time to have lunch, taste typical Venetian aperitifs, or enjoy a gelato at one of the island's many cafés. If you wish, with our ticket you will be able to enter the Lace Museum free of charge (to be requested from the guide).
From Burano, you will finally move to Torcello, the oldest settlement in the lagoon: here you will have about one hour to explore the island independently, with the possibility to visit the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta and admire its Veneto-Byzantine mosaics (entrance ticket not included).
Return to the Fusina terminal is scheduled for the late afternoon.
During the navigation: be enchanted by the typical flora and fauna of the lagoon, cross the evocative Canale della Giudecca, and admire the view of the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute and the Bacino di San Marco. In the distance, you can see planes taking off from Marco Polo Airport, adding a touch of movement to the lagoon landscape.
In Murano: visit the Basilica of Santi Maria e Donato and the Church of San Pietro Martire, two historical testimonies of the island (entrance tickets not included).
In Burano: stroll to Piazza Galuppi with its famous leaning bell tower, discover the ancient art of lace-making by browsing the island's shops, take a selfie in front of Casa di Bepi — the most colorful house on the island — and taste the traditional risotto with goby fish (ghiozzo, a typical fish of the Venetian lagoon).
In Torcello: walk along the evocative Devil’s Bridge, one of the last bridges without railings remaining in the lagoon, or capture the moment with a selfie sitting on the famous Attila’s Throne.
