Tour description

Spend one perfect day exploring venice’s charming islands and enjoying vip treatment..

This Murano & Burano tour takes you away from the crowds of central Venice to the city's outlying islands, bursting with authentic history and culture. Explore Burano and Murano by private boat, complete with an exclusive wine tasting at a Michelin Star restaurant and a private glassblowing demonstration.

Say buongiorno to your guide and small group in central Venice, then enjoy a short walk through a picturesque neighborhood to your boat to begin your Murano & Burano tour. You’ll make a brief stop along the way for a photo op at one of Venice’s most recognizable spots.

Once aboard the private boat, you’ll slip away from the city center and catch breathtaking views from the water. Pass by legendary sights such as St. Mark’s Square, the Doge's Palace, and the Bridge of Sighs. Throughout the pleasant hour-long ride, your guide will also point out some lesser-known gems that you’ll want to explore during the rest of your time in the city.

Explore picture-perfect Burano with a knowledgeable guide.

You’ll disembark at Burano and pop over to a secret vineyard—now part of a Michelin Star restaurant. Relax and enjoy the views of the vineyards from the restaurant’s stunning tasting room as you sip a glass of excellent white wine served with homemade snacks in an exclusive tasting that’s not available with any other operator.

After your VIP wine tasting, you'll discover the center of Burano Island, home to the famous colorful houses which have been the homes of Venice’s legendary lacemakers since the 16th century. Enjoy a stroll around the island with your guide, taking in the charming streets and sights like the old fish market (no longer in use) and the main church. After the guided portion of your visit, you’ll have the option to accompany your guide to a traditional lacemaking workshop or enjoy some free time on your own.

See Murano’s glassmaking tradition come to life.

Your next stop is the island of Murano, known for its respected tradition of glassmaking since the 13th century. After a 40-minute boat ride, you'll disembark on Murano and head into a formerly abandoned medieval church. Visited by Casanova and Venetian nobles in its heyday, this fascinating space is now a glassmaking workshop. Marvel at a private glassblowing demonstration and learn about the storied history of this local tradition.

After your Murano tour, you'll have some free time to explore the island. Finally, hop back aboard your private boat and we’ll have you back in central Venice by late afternoon. Alternatively, you can choose to stay in Murano for a bit longer on your own, with instructions from your guide on how to make your way back to Venice via public transport.

You’ll return to Venice with a new perspective on the Floating City and some of its lesser-visited (yet no less charming) islands. Thanks to the stories from your guide that bring the islands and their traditions to life, your Murano & Burano tour will provide you with a greater appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of the lagoon.

How to visit Murano, Burano, and Venice’s top islands in 2024

Sean Finelli Last Updated: February 22, 2024

Headed to Venice and like the idea of island hopping? With 118 islands, there are many to explore! So, you’ll need to know which ones to visit and plan ahead for the best experience. In this guide, we’ll introduce you to some of the top islands to visit in Venice and how to get there.

Pro Tip: Planning what to do on your trip to Venice? It’s easier to organize your trip when you have all your resources in one place. Bookmark this post along with our  Venice Guide  for more planning resources, our  top Venice Islands tours  for a memorable trip, and  how to see Venice in a day .

Top 10 Islands To Visit in Venice

There are 118 islands in Venice, but m ost visitors don’t explore them. Murano and Burano are two of the most popular and well-known for their quaint and colorful houses and long history of craftsmanship in glassblowing and lacemaking.

Lido di Venezia hosts the Venice Film Festival every year! There are plenty more to explore. Here are the top islands to visit in Venice and how to get there. If you’d like to see the Venice islands the easy way, check out our Murano and Burano Island tours .

How To Get To the Venice Islands

Ferry boats in Venice are like the subway in New York City. If you want to reach Venice islands by public transport, taking a ferry boat is the most efficient way to go.

All lines are active from 6 am until 10:30 pm every day (with exceptions during the holidays). Tickets can get quite expensive, so if you’re touring more islands, it’s best to get a 24-hour ticket for €24 or a 12-hour ticket for €18.

Here are the main ferry boat lines:

• 12 Line to reach Burano, Murano and San Michele from Fondamenta Nove
• 4 Line to reach Murano from the train station Santa Lucia
• 5 Line to reach Lido di Venezia from the bus station Piazzale Roma
• 14 Line to reach Murano from St. Mark’s Square

Vaporetto (Water Bus)

If you’re looking to go to Murano or Burano you can hop on the vaporetto (ferry) from the Venice San Zaccaria stop near St. Mark’s. The trip takes 40 to 50 minutes. We recommend the day pass option.

While these water buses are handy to travel to the islands for an affordable price, they do make a lot of stops and can get crowded. Plan extra time to get between locations.

Otherwise, booking a tour of Murano and Burano is a good idea since you’ll have private transportation and a guided tour with access to live demonstrations on both islands.

Internationally known for its talented glass makers, Murano is the perfect Venice island to shop for unique souvenirs. Here you’ll find precious glass-blown artifacts and Venetian murrine — incredibly rare charms made of colored patterns made in a glass cane.

While in Murano, visit the Museum of Glass to learn where this local tradition came from. Before you leave, don’t forget to enter the Basilica dei Santi Maria and Donato to marvel at its mosaic floor.

Location: Murano

This colorful island is probably the most photographed in Venice. You’ll instantly recognize it from afar, thanks to its brightly colored houses. In fact, many legends say they served as a kind of lighthouse so sailors and fishermen could find their homes in thick fog. Burano is also famous for its beautiful handcrafted embroidery and lace, so make sure to save for it.

Location: Burano

Lido di Venezia

If you’re passionate about the film industry, you’ll know Lido di Venezia. It hosts the International Film Festival every year in early September. If you’re visiting this time of the year, expect to spot lots of celebrities — but large crowds too.

Location: Lido di Venezia

La Giudecca

The original name of this elongated island is Spina Longa (long spine). It’s both the longest Venice island and the closest to the mainland. The current name comes from giudeo (Jew) and refers to the Jews that originally populated the island.

Today, La Giudecca is a nice residential area formed by eight minor islands and covered with orchards, gardens, and new residential compounds.

Location: La Giudecca

San Giorgio

The best spot to admire the little island of San Giorgio is from the top of St. Mark’s Bell Tower . However, it is also worth a visit! Very rich in history, it was founded in the 8th century by a noble family called Memmia.

In the following centuries, a Benedictine monk built the Monastery of San Giorgio Maggiore, now a must-see attraction while touring Venice islands.

Location: San Giorgio

Sant’Erasmo

You’ll be able to spot this wide island from the airport, as it is the closest one. Locals call Sant’Erasmo “the orchard,” as all fresh produce sold on the island comes from there. While walking through this Venice island, expect to admire endless crop fields, vineyards, orchards, and canals of course!

Location: Sant’Erasmo

Pellestrina

If you wish to experience the authentic Venetian lifestyle, visit Pellestrina. It’s a fortified island right next to Lido di Venezia. The population is mainly fishermen and farmers who live in small colorful houses.

From Pellestrina, you’ll witness some of the most amazing sunsets in the lagoon, so consider paying a visit if you’re in Venice during summer!

Location: Pellestrina

San Michele

This Venice island holds the monumental cemetery of Venice. Among the many celebrities and public figures resting here, you’ll find the composer Igor Stravinsky and poet Ezra Pound.

Location: San Michele

Sant’ Elena

This is one of the most ancient islands in the Venice lagoon, with a monastery built around 1176 to accommodate pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land.

However, during the Serenissima Republic, it was used for military purposes and then to store crops in war times. Nowadays, it has one of the main soccer fields in Venice, the Pier Luigi Penzo stadium, and the Naval College.

Location: Sant’ Elena

San Servolo

In between Lido di Venezia and St. Mark’s, San Servolo is a central island used as the main International University Campus in Venice. It’s worth a visit and now operates as a museum open to the public.

Location: San Servolo

Where To Stay in Venice

Despite the size of this little island, there are endless hotel options to choose from. We’ve picked the best neighborhoods and hotels to stay in whether you prefer Italian luxury or quiet serenity—or both!

Venice’s Tourist Fee Is Now in Effect — What to Know

The fee is in place for day-visitors over 14 years old from 8.30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Stacey Wreathall/Travel + Leisure

Day visitors to Venice on Thursday had to pay to get in as the famous city started implementing the much-talked about day trip fee.

Travelers hoping to explore the Italian city had to pony up €5 ($5.36) per person at the train station. The fee, which was first floated as an idea in 2019 but postponed several times , will initially be in effect for 29 days and cover most weekends through mid-July.

“We need to find a new balance between the tourists and residents,’’ Simone Venturini, the city’s top tourism official, told The Associated Press . “We need to safeguard the spaces of the residents, of course, and we need to discourage the arrival of day-trippers on some particular days.”

The dates the fee is in effect were displayed on large signs at Venice’s main train station on Thursday, the wire service reported, with separate entrances available for tourists, and residents, students, and workers.

The fee, which is in effect for travelers over 14 years old from 8.30 a.m. to 4 p.m., can be paid online . Day visitors who pay in advance receive a QR code, which they must then show to officials at Venice's main access points.

On Thursday, the AP noted there were stewards available to help travelers unaware of the new rules to download the QR code and pay.

Tourists who are staying overnight will not have to pay the new day fee, but must apply online for an exemption . Overnight guests who book a hotel stay are already subject to a different tax.

This fee is the city’s latest effort to address overtourism. In January, Venice built on that goal by announcing plans to limit the number of travelers allowed on tour groups to no more than 25 people. That rule will apply to Venice’s historic center as well as the popular islands of Murano, Burano, and Torcello.

These efforts come months after UNESCO spared Venice from its list of world heritage sites in danger once again despite recommendations to add it.
