Venice lagoon tours: Murano, Burano and Torcello

The Venetian lagoon, made up of some 360 sq. miles, is full of low, green islands of varying size, linked by channels through the muddy shallows.

These unique surroundings originally fostered several scattered groups of mainland refugees through fishing, salt collecting and boat ferrying.

The islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello nowadays recall the earliest days of Venice and are still lively examples of the lagoon's own culture. The internationally famous Murano has been for 700 years the centre of glass making. Burano with its brightly painted houses is the most typical lagoon fisherman village and the archeological site of Torcello offers you the oldest cathedral of Venice .
Spend a few hours in the relaxing setting of this calm water environment and get a complete overview of the lagoon.
