Highlights of Murano glass experience plus Visit to a Burano Lace Laboratory

Venice\'s lagoon islands are well known for their traditional handicrafts.
Murano is the island famous the world over for its artisan glass, the traditions of glass blowing being handed down from generation to generation for centuries and can still be seen today at the factories. The glass blowers of Murano were the first Europeans to make mirrors and their skill was so valuable that they were actually banned from ever leaving Venice!
Burano is known and loved for its brightly painted houses that line the internal waterways but it\'s also an island of lace making, an art that is dyeing out.

Is It Suitable for Me?

Those who appreciate arts and crafts will adore this trip but it\'s equally interesting for those who wouldn\'t generally be interested in lace or glass – You\'ll learn something new that\'s for sure.

Enjoyable for the whole family – Even the kids will find it interesting, the glass blowing especially.
