Murano Glass, Burano Lace, and Torcello Island Adventure + Ebook
Overview
Embark on a charming boat tour of the Venetian Lagoon and discover two of the region's most fascinating islands: Murano and Burano. Departing from Piazza San Marco, you will sail through the Venetian waters accompanied by a hostess who will share curiosities and stories about the lagoon and its traditions.
The first stop will be in Murano, world-famous for its glass art since the 13th century. During the visit, you will watch a live glassblowing demonstration, getting a close look at the work of master artisans who create unique and impressive pieces.
Next, the tour continues to Burano, known for its colorful fishermen's houses and traditional lace-making. Stroll through the island's charming streets, discover its legends, and take the opportunity to try the famous local sweet, bussolà.
