What to expect

  1. Murano
    1h
    More than an island, Murano is actually a cluster of small, interconnected islands. A magical world with a long history: the art of glassmaking.
  2. Burano
    1h
    Burano is a picturesque island in the northern Venetian lagoon known for its colorful houses, fishing tradition, ancient lacemaking, and leaning bell tower.
  3. Torcello
    1h
    The small island of Torcello exudes a tranquil atmosphere. Far from the bustle of Venice's streets, you can enjoy a fascinating visit where history, art, and architecture intertwine.
  4. San Francesco del Deserto
    1h
    Silence reigns on the island of San Francesco del Deserto, a quiet and peaceful calm. A convent of Friars Minor dedicated to prayer and contemplation has stood on this strip of land in the Venetian lagoon since the 13th century.
  5. Laguna di Venezia
    Pass by
    Traveling across the Venice Lagoon to reach its many characteristic locations is in itself an exceptional naturalistic discovery.
