I looooved Burano. The trip to the island took much longer than I was told (~2 hrs from Venice vs. the 40min I was told). It was well worth the journey. I love tiny fishing villages and this was just that. I had lunch at Ai Tre Ponti and it was without a doubt the best pizza I had in... more

Burano is unlike any other place I've ever been to...and it was the highlight of my visit to Venice about 6 years ago. I found Venice to be too touristy, too crowded, and to be somewhat overrated. We shelled out a ton of euros for a gondola ride for the hell of it, but it wasn't that amazing either. I... more

This is such a lovely calm place that it's well worth seeing, just wander around and admire the lovely colourful houses. Only 45 minutes from Fondamente Nove. Most of the lace is made in Hong Kong or near Florence by Chinese women so make sure you've got a Burano lace certificate to prove its authenticity. Burano lace is pricey as... more

We visited the charming village of Burano while staying in Venice. It is about a 40--45 minute trip by boat from the main islands of Venice. Known for its lace-making, it is also a fishing village. The brightly painted houses (we were told they are painted this way to help villagers find their way home in the foggy periods during... more

I have enjoyed going to Burano twice - once in the heat of summer in 2005 and again in 2007 in autumn. I loved it both times despite the fact that it was raining the second time. Even in the rain it is a beautiful island. The people do not mind you taking photos of their lovely colourful homes with... more

Rather than deal with the glass hustlers of Murano, stay on the Vaporetto another two stops and visit Burano. This island is a gem tucked away a short distance from the city, and it is MUCH less crowded than Venice itself. Here you'll find lots of shops selling lace clothing (a bit pricey), and the famous Murano glass, without the... more

The ferry ride from Venice to the beautiful island of Burano is just a small slice of this complete departure from Historic Italy. On your approach to the island you will be rubbing your eyes in wonder - the brightly colored houses can only be described as Caribbean colors. You'll feel as though you are about to disembark on a... more

Fue en un documental donde oi hablar de una isla en Venecia; pequeña, famosa por sus bordados, donde sus habitantes... more

Eine weniger bekannte Insel, die aber mit dem Vaporetto leicht erreichbar ist. Sehenswert ist die Insel vor allem deshalb, weil... more
