Highlights: Murano and Burano
Escape the crowded metropolis and explore the islands of the lagoon. The island of Murano is particularly famous for its tradition of glass blowing, which you can admire up close and even try out yourself. In Burano we then have the centuries-old tradition of lace-making explained to us. Both places are also well known for their beauty. The colorful houses, brown docks and the shimmering water of the canals are truly gorgeous.
