Leave Venice’s stone monuments behind and discover the twin jewels of the lagoon on a morning cruise to Murano and Burano! Setting sail from St. Mark's at 10:45 AM, you’ll glide across sparkling waters for a relaxed, sunlit perspective of the historic wetlands. First stop: Murano, world-famous for luxury glassmaking since the 13th century. Step inside a working furnace to witness an incredible live demonstration, watching master artisans effortlessly transform molten glass into art. Afterward, enjoy free time to explore peaceful alleys and glass galleries. Next, cruise deeper to the enchanting island of Burano, famous for its kaleidoscope of brightly colored houses and delicate, hand-stitched needle lace. Wander alongside reflecting canals, browse traditional shops, and taste authentic lagoon seafood or Bussolà butter cookies.

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.
