About Murano, Burano & Torcello
Italy
Escape the bustle of Venice with a captivating day trip to the nearby islands of Murano, Burano, and Torcello, each offering its own distinct charm and heritage. Begin with Murano, famed worldwide for its centuries-old glassmaking tradition. Here, you can visit working glass factories and witness artisans crafting intricate works by hand. Next, head to Burano, a colourful fishing village known for its vibrant houses and exquisite lacework—a true feast for the eyes and a photographer’s dream. Finally, step back in time on Torcello, the quietest and oldest of the islands, where you can explore ancient ruins, the stunning Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, and enjoy a peaceful lagoon setting far removed from the crowds.
This trio of islands makes for a perfect full-day excursion from Venice and can be explored via a guided group tour or independently using the public vaporetto (ferry) service.
