Murano & Burano Free Tour
Description
At 9:15 am, we'll meet at Campo dei Gesuiti in Venice. From here, we'll head to the Fondamente Nove pier, where we'll take the vaporetto to Burano.
Get ready to be enchanted by Burano's beautiful colorful houses! During the walk through the center of the island, we'll see the Church of San Martino and learn about the origin of the famous Burano lace, called "merletti".

On this island, we'll stroll through its picturesque streets between canals. While we walk past the most emblematic points, we'll tell you some interesting facts about the island's past.
