The Pearls Of The Venice Lagoon: Murano, Burano & Torcello – 6 Hours
Price
Make the most of your time in Venice... Discover the beauty and history of the famous Venetian lagoon!
Comfortably seated aboard your private motorboat (shared with your group members only), you will visit three of the most beautiful islands in the lagoon: Murano, Burano and Torcello.
Start your excursion with some free time to explore Murano at your own pace. The island is world-famous for its production of blown glass. Wandering around the typical narrow streets, you can look for unique handmade pieces made by glassmasters. Then, join us in visiting a factory of blown glass and discover the secrets of its fascinating production.
Afterwards, head towards Burano, where lace-making has brought international fame to this small town. The art of producing lace dates back to ancient times, and since then, the Venetian seamstresses established an authentic and unique culture.
Another incredible feature of Burano is its fishermen houses, painted in the most beautiful and bright colours, shining under the Venetian sun and bringing a feeling of happiness to visitors. Burano is truly a dream come true for any photographer! Enjoy the colorful atmosphere as you explore the island.
The last stop on your tour will be Torcello, first center of Venetian civilization. This island has perfectly preserved many monuments and churches, such as the Church of Santa Fosca and the Byzantine Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta. The latter, containing wonderful golden mosaics, will take your breath away and will be the perfect end of your discovery tour of the Venetian lagoon.
