  • There are two beautiful islands near Venice – Burano and Murano, perfect for those who want to escape the crowds of tourists. This day trip to is a great way to see both islands and coast through the Venetian Lagoon.

    The glassy paradise of Murano...

    Murano Island is known for its unique glass factories and the stunning Basilica of Santi Maria e Donato. You will be able to see a master glass crafter at work and learn more about the process.

    & the rainbow island of Burano!

    Further up, Burano awaits with its brightly painted walls and rare artisan lace. Wander through its panoramic streets, admire a technicolor brick house, stop at one of its tiny cafés, and more. Don't miss the iconic San Martin Basilica with its leaning bell tower!
