Italy - Veneto

Murano

A Karen Brown Recommendation

There is no better way to get into the mood of Venice than to join the crowd at St. Mark’s pier as they climb aboard one of the ferries that ply the city’s waterways. It is a real bargain to board the vaporetto and enjoy the many wonderful palaces bordering the Grand Canal. In addition to exploring the canals that lace Venice, you can take ferries to the outlying islands. Go either on your own or on a tour to the three islands: Murano (famous for its hand-blown glass), Burano  (famous for its colorfully painted fishermen’s cottages and lace making), and Torcello (once an important city but now just a small village with only its lovely large church to remind you of its past glories).
