Discover the timeless beauty of the Venetian Lagoon on this classicfull-day tour to its three most iconic islands: Murano, Burano,and Torcello. A journey through art, color, tradition, and history — this is a must-do experience for any visitor to Venice.
The tour begins with a peaceful boat ride away from the bustle of the city to the island of Murano, world-famous for its ancient glass-making tradition. Here, you'll visit a historic glass workshop and witness master glassblowers at work, transforming molten glass into delicate, breathtaking works of art. Purchasing a piece directly from the artisans ensures you take home an authentic and original creation.
Next, continue to the vibrant island of Burano, known for its colorful houses and exquisite handmade lace. With its poetic charm and slow rhythm, Burano offers a feast for the eyes and soul. You’ll have the chance to admire — and perhaps buy — some of the island’s delicate lacework, a tradition passed down through generations. This picturesque village is also the birthplace of composer Baldassarre Galuppi.
The final stop is Torcello, the oldest continuously inhabited island in the lagoon. Rich in history and mysticism, it is home to the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, famous for its stunning Byzantine mosaics, including a breathtaking Last Judgment. Stroll past the Devil’s Bridge, the Throne of Attila, and explore the quiet atmosphere of this once-thriving settlement that played a key role in Venice’s early history.
This full-day excursion offers a unique blend of craftsmanship, color, and cultural heritage, and is one of the most evocative experiences the lagoon has to offer.
