Boat excursion from Punta Sabbioni to the islands of Murano and Burano in just one afternoon!

The tour departs from Punta Sabbioni to discover the most fascinating islands of the Venetian Lagoon. During the cruise, the guide will share interesting facts about history and culture, enriching your experience.

Enjoy a mini cruise to San Marco, where you will make a brief stop to pick up other passengers. Then, sail to Murano, famous for its glassmaking tradition: during the approximately one-hour stop, you will visit one of the island’s renowned factories and watch a live demonstration, admiring the skill of the master glassmakers.

Alongside our onboard guide, you will then continue to Burano, known for its fine lace and colorful houses. You will have about an hour to stroll through the picturesque streets, take photos, and be enchanted by the island’s unique atmosphere.

Return to Punta Sabbioni is expected around 5:00 PM.

What will you do?

During the navigation: take a look at the MOSE, the mobile dam system designed to protect Venice from high tides. 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.
