Additional Information

Embark on a splendid journey aboard a luxurious boat, accompanied by a hostess who will provide commentary throughout the trip, guiding you to explore the Venetian Lagoon and its most enchanting islands: Murano and Burano.

Departing from Piazza San Marco, you will head towards the northern part of the Venetian Lagoon, reaching Murano, the first stop. Renowned since the 1200s for its detailed glassmaking, you’ll wander through the town and watch a glassblowing demonstration where talented artisans craft vases, glasses, and other exquisite pieces, highlighting Murano’s traditional craftsmanship.

After visiting Murano, we will proceed to Burano, famous for its vibrant fishermen’s houses, which, according to legend, were painted in bright colors to be visible in the dense winter fog. As you stroll through the town, you’ll observe elderly women handcrafting lace and have the chance to sample the local dessert, bussolà.
