The mirror world Murano

Start off the boat tour to Murano island, popular for its glass-making industries. Visit a local glass factory and watch skilled artisans create art with ancient glass-making techniques. The island also houses beautiful canals and bridges perfect for a stroll or a long walk.

Bask in the brightness of Burano

By noon, make your way to Burano island, where the intricate art of lace-making has been in practice for centuries. Admire the vividly-painted homes and walls and try out local cuisine like risotto de gò (a risotto made with local fish) at your own expense.

Tranquil Torcello

The peaceful island of Torcello rests in the northernmost part of the lagoon and offers stunning views of the bay. It exudes an ancient charm with its historic Santa Maria Assunta Cathedral, featuring stunning Byzantine mosaics, and the rustic Devil’s Bridge.
