Visit the island of Murano, renowned for its glass-making traditions, which date back to the 13th century. Enjoy views of Venice as you cross the lagoon by boat, learn about glass-blowing at a traditional factory, and take home some shiny souvenirs.
In the 13th century, Venice's glass-makers moved to Murano due to the risk of fires. Aventurine glass was invented on the island, and glass beads, mirrors, and chandeliers are still the islanders' main income.
Learn about the island's traditions on a guided walking tour, which includes a stop at a traditional glass factory. At the end of your tour, your guide will be happy to suggest a restaurant for lunch as well as further Venetian sights for you to discover.
