Venice Islands Tour - Murano, Burano, Torcello

On this excursion you will discover the North Lagoon and its most famous islands: Murano, Burano and Torcello. This is a relaxing itinerary, a long way from the noise of the city and at one with nature, to relive the birth of early Venice.

Leaving by motorboat, you sail past the island of S.Giorgio Maggiore, the Lido famous for its beach and you arrive at Murano, famous for its glassworks.

Here, you can admire expert glass-makers at work in a real glass factory. Leaving Murano, you arrive, further to the north, at Burano which is a fishermen’s island with brightly-coloured houses and which, still today, is famous for the handicraft production of lace, the technique for which is inspired by the weaving of the fishing nets. Finally you go to the nearby Torcello, where time seems to have stood still. The island is now almost uninhabited, covered by a rich typical vegetation of the lagoon. The island still has the lagoon’s oldest monument, the majestic Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta and Attila’s famous throne.
