Step by Step

This excursion to the islands of Burano, Murano and Torcello from Venice is a very complete way to discover the lagoon and get to know three must-see places beyond the historic centre. The experience begins with a panoramic cruise, perfect for admiring the Venice skyline, its palaces and the tranquil beauty of the lagoon from the water.

The first major attraction is Murano, known the world over for its glassmaking tradition. There you will visit a working furnace to watch a demonstration of glassblowing, one of the most representative arts of Venice. Afterwards, you will have time to stroll around the streets, visit artisan shops and continue enjoying the atmosphere of the island.

The route continues in Burano, one of the most photogenic sights of the lagoon thanks to its brightly coloured houses and canals. In addition to strolling through the streets and taking photos, you can learn more about the local tradition with a lace-making demonstration, another of the great historical crafts of the area. It is an ideal stop to let yourself go, browse in the shops and enjoy an island with a lot of personality.

The last stop is Torcello, the oldest continuously inhabited island in the lagoon and one of its most serene corners. Here the pace changes and the visit takes on a more historical tone, with tranquil landscapes, stone bridges and an atmosphere almost frozen in time. It is the perfect end to an excursion that combines craftsmanship, history, sailing and some of Venice's most special scenery.

    Everything went according to plan. I particularly enjoyed hearing stories about how these communities around the lagoon used to live.

    The visit to Burano was lovely, with small canals and beautifully maintained houses. The excursion goes by quicker than it seems.

    It was a good experience, although the boat did get quite full. Even so, the journey was comfortable and the stops were well worth it.

    I loved seeing the contrast between the three islands. Murano is all about craftsmanship, Burano is all about colour and Torcello is complete tranquillity.
