Venice
Murano, Burano & Torcello
Three islands in five hours: glass on Murano, lace on Burano, mosaics on Torcello
Sightseeing, Local Culture
Why We Love it
The third island is the one that earns the day — Torcello, the oldest settlement in the lagoon, with Byzantine mosaics in the cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta.
The Experience
Five hours in the Venetian Lagoon, leaving the St. Mark's waterfront by motorboat with a guide and a shared group, and stopping at three islands.
Murano first, and a glassblowing factory where you watch the artisans work by techniques the island has used for centuries. Then Burano, a fishing village of brightly painted houses whose other trade is lace, worked by hand in front of you. Torcello last, the oldest settlement in the lagoon — the cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and its Byzantine mosaics.
My pick for travelers who want the lagoon as well as the city, and for anyone who wants all three islands in one trip without organizing it themselves.
