Boat tour to the 3 islands from Fusina: Murano - Burano - Torcello with on-board guide
Departure from the Fusina terminal, near Punta Fusina with a shuttle to Venice, making stops near the Santa Lucia train station and San Marco - Pontile Cornoldi: here you will change boats and begin the tour of the scenic Venetian lagoon.
The first stop is Murano, famous worldwide for the art of glassmaking. Following the guidance of your onboard guide, you will visit a local furnace and watch a live demonstration by a master glassblower, observing skills and techniques up close. You will have about one hour of total free time on the island to explore the shops and purchase authentic artistic glass items.
Next, you will head to Burano, renowned for its traditional lace and colorful houses: here you will have about two hours of free time to have lunch, try typical Venetian aperitifs, or enjoy an ice cream at one of the many bars on the island. If you wish, with our ticket you can enter the Lace Museum for free (ask the guide).
Finally, from Burano, you will move to Torcello, the oldest settlement in the lagoon: here you will have about one hour to explore the island independently, with the option to visit the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta and admire its Veneto-Byzantine mosaics (entrance fee 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.
