Murano, Burano and Torcello

Guided tour at Murano, Burano and Torcello islands

The northern part of the lagoon is known for its islands full of history and charm. An excursion that wants to include the most famous ones will have to consider at least Murano, Burano and Torcello.

Not far from Venice, Murano is the capital of glass. Do not miss its old Dome, the Glass Museum and let me show you some of the best glass-blowing workshops of the islands. 

Farther north, Burano is a charming island, whose colorful small houses astonish every visitor, and whose typical production was for centuries the intricate lovely lace.

In the end… Torcello, the cradle of the Venetian civilization.  Its cathedral decorated in byzantine-styled mosaics is unmissable.
