Itinerary
More than an island, Murano is actually a cluster of small, interconnected islands. A magical world with a long history: the art of glassmaking.
Burano is a picturesque island in the northern Venetian lagoon known for its colorful houses, fishing tradition, ancient lacemaking, and leaning bell tower.
The small island of Torcello exudes a tranquil atmosphere. Far from the bustle of Venice's streets, you can enjoy a fascinating visit where history, art, and architecture intertwine.
Silence reigns on the island of San Francesco del Deserto, a quiet and peaceful calm. A convent of Friars Minor dedicated to prayer and contemplation has stood on this strip of land in the Venetian lagoon since the 13th century.
Traveling across the Venice Lagoon to reach its many characteristic locations is in itself an exceptional naturalistic discovery.

About Venice
Venice floats on a lagoon of more than a hundred islands, a city of canals, palaces and bridges with no cars, where every walk ends somewhere unexpected.
The Grand Canal sweeps through the city in a great reversed S, lined with palaces and crossed by the Rialto Bridge. Near its mouth, Piazza San Marco gathers St Mark's Basilica with its golden mosaics, the Doge's Palace, the Bridge of Sighs and the tall brick campanile. Water buses and gondolas show the city from the angle it was built to be seen.
Top-ranked sights in Venice: St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), St. Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco), Grand Canal.
