Set sail from Venice for a day tour of the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello. Depending on the option chosen, the departure can be from San Marco - Pontile Cornoldi or from the Venice train station, near the KFC. Our first stop is Murano : here you will visit a local furnace and witness the work of a master glassmaker up close during a live demonstration. Overall, you will have about an hour of free time on the island. You will then continue to Burano : here you will have about two hours of free time where you can choose a good place to have lunch or taste typical Venetian aperitifs. From Burano you will finally move to Torcello: here you will have about an hour to explore the island on your own, with the possibility to visit the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta (entrance fee not included). Planned return to San Marco & Ferrovia in the late afternoon.

Where this sits in Venice

Venice is about 11 min by road from Venice Marco Polo Airport. Extraordinary and genuinely crowded, and the two are easy to reconcile: stay the night. The day trippers leave around six, and the city that is left — quiet canals, lit windows, footsteps — is the one worth coming for.
