Follow the footsteps of Thomas Mann, look out for the villas owned by film stars and take the number 1 boot back to the Ferrovia, sit outside if you can manage and enjoy the best views in the world More

we saw the lagune from the top of the campanille near S. Giorgio. Peaceful, blue and very inviting!!! More

After walking around in Venice for 3 days we decided to do something else for a change. We booked a 3 Island trip from Venice visiting Murano, Burano and Torcello. Murano is specialized in glassblowing (during your trip you visit a factory) - Burano is wellknown for its Lace and the pittoresk painted houses of the fishermen, - Torcello is... More

Great time travelling from island to island. Pity that tourists are charged three times what locals pay for public transport. I paid 53euro for a weekly ticket while locals pay 33euro for a whole month! More

If you only could imagine how interesting the lagoon islands are! Murano, Burano, Torcello- is a must to visit. And even one day is not enough! Could go again straight ahead! More

The lagoon is cheaper than Venice - Lido restaurants are typically one third cheaper. Accommodation is cheaper too, although obviously not as historic.

Arrive in style - take a watertaxi from the airport and enjoy skimming across the laguna in a beautiful boat. See Venice emerge from the the mist. More

With the Valporetto (who are on time!!!!) we went to Murano, Burano and Torcello.....with a great overview of the Laguna. More so because one time we took the wrong Valporetto - number 2 and found ourselves going around Venice via the harbour which didn't displease us as we saw another scenery of the city More

Murano (glass making) and Burano(lace making) are easily accessible on the public ferry system. Burano is amazing - it's small enough to walk around, the houses are in bright colours and there is a colony of cats who look amazingly well fed !! More
