The Lagoon islands 4 hrs : Murano – Burano- Torcello

You will meet the   guide at hotel   and start the visit from St. Mark's Square by private   water taxi that leads you   to Murano Island , the biggest Island famous for its glassworks.   Here, in 1291 all the glassblowers, were moved for security reasons. We may enter into a furnace and assisting the creation of an object and continue our discovery of this art in the Museum of Ancient Glass. Further north, Burano, the island of lace, once a fishing village, with small colorful houses that one cannot avoid photographing.

At the end the boat will leave to Torcello that is the smaller of the three Islands . Now, only 13 people are living there but, on the X century it was a big centre with 40.000 habitants, 12 churches and convents. It was also the richest and most powerful island on the lagoon. Here stands the oldest cathedral of the lagoon, the Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta. Back to Venice .
