Our Venice Lagoon Cruise to Burano (Murano wasn’t included in this tour) was organised through our Cosmos tour, the cost was approximately 30€ per person for a half-day ride. We cruised across the Venetian Lagoon to an island called Burano, just a 50-minute ride. Burano is a quaint little island, so pretty, colourful homes and shops, very neat and tidy, loved the stroll around this town. Burano is definitely charming and worth a visit, it is famous for their historic trade of lace work and culinary traditions. We had the opportunity to watch their lace making skills and listen to the lace making history, dated back many centuries. I loved what they had to share and offer, that I bought myself a handmade lace fan. There are many shops that look so inviting and delicious, but once I had seen the window display at Panificio Pasticceria Garbo, I couldn’t resist but go inside. Yes, I bought myself a bag of mixed biscuits and they were so delicious, you can’t buy these biscuits elsewhere, highly recommend. Then we just lazed on their park benches and enjoyed the serenity of this town – so peaceful and not overcrowded like Venice. I wasn’t too fussed that we didn’t visit Murano, as we did see the glassmaking earlier in our tour, in Florence, hence why Murano wasn’t included in our cruise. If you do have time to spare in Venice, highly recommend a visit to Burano, such a magical place to see, like entering into a different world.
