Burano, Murano and Torcello Islands Day Tour from Venice

This excursion to the islands of Burano, Murano and Torcello from Venice is a comprehensive way to discover the lagoon and explore three unmissable destinations beyond the historic centre. The experience begins with a scenic cruise, perfect for admiring Venice’s skyline, its palaces and the tranquil beauty of the lagoon from the water.

The first major highlight is Murano, known worldwide for its glass-making tradition. There, you’ll visit a working furnace to watch a glass-blowing demonstration, one of Venice’s most iconic arts. Afterwards, you’ll have time to wander its streets, browse the craft shops and continue to soak up the island’s atmosphere.

The tour continues to Burano, one of the most photogenic sights in the lagoon thanks to its brightly coloured houses and canals. As well as strolling through its streets and taking photos, you’ll gain a better understanding of its local traditions with a lace-making demonstration, another of the area’s great historical crafts. It’s an ideal stop to simply let yourself go, browse the shops and enjoy an island brimming with character.

The final stop is Torcello, the oldest continuously inhabited island in the lagoon and one of its most serene spots. Here, the pace changes and the visit takes on a more historical feel, with tranquil landscapes, stone bridges and an atmosphere that seems almost frozen in time. It’s the perfect finale to an excursion that combines crafts, history, boating and some of Venice’s most special landscapes.
