Murano & Burano Artisan Half-Day Escape (Walking + Boat)
OVERVIEW
Escape the bustle of central Venice and set sail by private boat across the shimmering waters of the lagoon to two of its most captivating gems. On Murano, step inside historic glassblowing ateliers where master artisans have been shaping molten glass into delicate works of art for centuries, their skill passed down through generations. Then wander through the storybook streets of Burano, where every house is painted in a vivid hue and lace-making traditions are lovingly preserved in tiny workshops. Along the way, soak in the tranquil rhythms of island life — slower, quieter, and steeped in beauty — far from the tourist crowds.
