Murano
That island is famous with its glass production. It is about 1.5 km away from Venice. To reach Murano you should go to Fondamenta Nuove stop in Venice. There you can take a boat with numbers 41 or 42. In Murano lives over 5000 people.

| And we are on the island and walk to the center |
In Murano, there are a row of shops where you can find each kind of glass product. Lamps, animal figures, vases and everything you can imagine from glass. And also nice jewelry. Rings, earrings… We saw even a 1 euro glass shop!

| Glass paradise |
The enviorenment in Murano is very similar to Venice. There are many little channels between the houses and you have to walk on the narrow pathways.

| There are shops in each side |
You can see the traces of the glass production everywhere. Here is a statue from glass.
When you cross over the Vivarini Bridge, if you walk along the Fondamenta Cavour, you will see the Glass Museum. There are around 4000 pieces in the museum.
Burano
Same as Murano, you can go to Burano from the Fondamenta Nuove in Venice. There are also boats in Murano Faro stop in Murano. There you should take the LN line.

| Burano |
The most famous part of Burano is its pretty houses. All the houses are coloured in a different way which makes an impressive look.
In Burano like in Venice all the commerce is done by waterway. Here a boat brings goods for a shop...
In Burano there are statues from glass too...
Burano is also known for its lace work. Everywhere on island you will see shops in which clothes or table covers from lace are sold. But they are a little bit expensive. For instance a t-shirt was around 80 euro. But they look nice.
