Boat excursion to 2 islands from Venice: Murano and Burano, morning or afternoon with guide on board
Set sail from Venice on a boat tour to the islands of Murano and Burano.
Enjoy the cruise aboard a comfortable boat, admire the lagoon views from the terrace, and be enchanted by the magic of these unique places, described with passion by our guide on board.
Depending on the selected option, departure may take place from San Marco – Cornoldi Pier or from Venice railway station, near KFC.
The first stop will be Murano, world-famous for the art of glassmaking. Here you will visit one of the renowned local glass factories and attend a live demonstration of glassblowing, observing up close the techniques and skills of the master glassmakers. Overall, you will have about one hour of free time to explore the island and browse the artistic glass shops.
You will then continue to Burano, where you can admire the vibrant colorful houses and stroll along the picturesque streets of the village. Here too, you will have about one hour of free time to discover the island’s charm, browse the lace shops, or enjoy a local aperitif.
During the navigation: admire the typical flora and fauna of the lagoon and watch in the distance the planes taking off from Marco Polo Airport.
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 biscuit: Bussolà.
