What to expect

Murano
1h 35m

Murano Island is celebrated for its centuries-old glassmaking tradition. Ferries bring numerous curious visitors to the Museo del Vetro, which showcases the history of glassmaking, and to shop for local handmade souvenirs. The Church of Santa Maria and San Donato, built in the Romanesque style, has a colorful mosaic floor and is reputed to hold the bones of a slain dragon.
Burano
1h 35m

Burano lies within the Venetian Lagoon, and like its southern neighbor Venice, seven kilometers away, it is a community of small islands interconnected by bridges. Situated near Torcello in the northern part of the lagoon, Burano is known for its exquisite glass and lacework.
Torcello
1h 35m

Torcello, located in the Venetian Lagoon, is an island full of history and charm. Founded in the 5th century, it was one of the first settlements in the region and today offers an atmosphere of serenity and contemplation. While exploring Torcello, you can visit the magnificent Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, famous for its stunning Byzantine mosaics, and the enigmatic Throne of Attila, surrounded by legends. The island also enchants with its untouched nature and tranquil canals, such as the charming Devil's Bridge. A stroll through Torcello is a journey into the past, in a picturesque setting that contrasts with the hustle and bustle of Venice.
