The islands of the lagoon
The relationship between Venice and its lagoon is so profound and unusual: two excursions to discover all the secrets about it and spend a wonderful time
The northern lagoon: Murano, Burano and Torcello
This excursion will allow you to discover the most famous islands of the Venetian Lagoon
Murano: So famous all over the world for its glass blowing, as well as the glass museum and the old church of San Donato which houses some fantastic mosaics.
Burano: Cheerful and picturesque with small brightly coloured houses. A wonderful place to spend your time along the narrow streets looking for typical biscuits called "bussolà".
Torcello: The jewel of the Venetian lagoon, where one can admire the oldest church of the whole area, the basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, and the unique Byzantine mosaics found within. Santa Maria Assunta Basilica, the nearby Baptistry and the Romanesque church of Santa Fosca create the most impressive architectural complex among all the buildings of the lagoon area.
The lagoon boat tour is charming in all seasons, mysterious and suggestive in autumn and winter, bright and sparkling in spring and summer.
Please note: this tour requires the rental of a private boat which is not included in the price of the tour.
The southern lagoon: Chioggia
It takes one hour by boat across the lagoon to arrive at Chioggia, a picturesque and cheerful town. As fishing is the most important income for its inhabitants, it has become famous for its impressive fish market, as well as the picturesque streets and a whole host of history and culture.
