Excursion to the islands: Murano, Burano, Torcello

Enjoy the visit to the islands of Venice: a day trip in the northern lagoon to see Murano, Burano, and Torcello, a one-hour excursion to admire the islands in all their beauty. Starting from Piazza San Marco, you will comfortably cross the lagoon, seated on a panoramic boat, in the company of a specialized guide who will explain the history and culture of the islands. The first stop is Murano, famous worldwide for its glass industry. Take a break to visit a glass factory where you will witness a glassblowing demonstration by a local artist who will create a unique glass object before your eyes, and you will have time to enjoy the charming island. The second stop is the picturesque island of Burano, famous not only for its lace but also for the fishermen's houses painted with bright colors. Lose yourself in the colorful streets and savor the delicious local pastries “Bussolai.” The last stop, but not least, is the quiet and sparsely populated island of Torcello, the first center of civilization in the estuary. On this island, you can admire the oldest churches in the lagoon and discover how Venice was born! Return from the islands crossing the lagoon and admire the enchanting San Marco basin from the boat. Enjoy the boat ride and take stunning photos of Venice and its lagoon.
