Murano, Burano & Torcello — Islands of the Venetian Lagoon

  • Guided boat tour departing from Piazza San Marco every day, at different times, with an expert local guide accompanying you throughout and narrating the route and each island's history.
  • Sail through the North Lagoon's channels, past barene, lagoon vegetation and birdlife, with a first glimpse of the historic Arsenale walls.
  • Murano (30 min navigation) — visit a working glass factory and watch master artisans at work.
  • Burano (45 min navigation) — the fishermen's island and the true highlight of the tour: unique in the world for its dazzlingly colourful houses. Step inside a lace-making atelier and taste traditional local sweets.
  • Torcello (10 min navigation) — the closest island, home to the ancient origins of Venice.
  • Several tour options available, with different durations and time on each island.
