About This Experience
Your journey begins on Murano, famously known as the “floating factory” and celebrated worldwide for its centuries-old glassmaking tradition. The art of transforming glass into delicate and intricate creations has been practiced here for centuries. Historically, Murano’s skilled glassmakers were required to remain on the island to protect the closely guarded secrets of their craft, while receiving special privileges in return.
During your visit, step inside one of the island’s renowned glass workshops and witness a fascinating live demonstration of traditional glassblowing techniques. Afterward, enjoy some free time to explore Murano independently, browse local shops, and admire the island’s charming atmosphere.
Next, continue to the colorful island of Burano, an enchanting group of five small islands linked by bridges. Burano is particularly famous for its exquisite lace-making heritage, which became highly prized throughout Europe during the 16th century. The island is also home to the historic Scuola dei Merletti, a lace-making school founded in 1872 and dedicated to preserving this traditional craft.
Enjoy approximately one hour of free time in Burano, giving you the opportunity to wander through its picturesque streets at your own pace. Keep an eye out for local artisans carefully weaving delicate lace, often working beside the island’s famous brightly colored houses.
At the end of this delightful island adventure, board your boat and return to San Marco, bringing your memorable exploration of Murano and Burano to a close.
