Murano
Murano

City Quarter

Visit the smaller island of Murano, with its picturesque streets and a large canal cutting across it, much like the Grand Canal cuts through Venice's main street. In fact, Murano is the world-famous home of Venetian glassmakers and is still filled with shops selling beautiful glassware for both practical use and for show.

Ideally combine a trip to Murano with a trip to the even more remote and romantic Burano. The island will completely absorb you with its peaceful atmosphere, colourful houses and narrow canals. What's more, as one of the few islands in the lagoon, the locals outnumber the tourists. Colourful Burano may be small, but it's hard to leave here and go back to Venice...
