Overview
A small island in the northern Venetian lagoon, Burano is famous for fishermen's houses painted in vivid reds, blues, yellows, and pinks - colors chosen so sailors could spot their homes through the fog. Burano lace, world-renowned since the 16th century, can be admired at the Lace Museum. The leaning San Martino bell tower rises about 53m, and sampling a local buranelli butter cookie with espresso is a treat. Free to visit. About 45 minutes on Vaporetto Line 12 from Fondamente Nove.
Travel Tips
Arrive in late afternoon for sunset photos of the colorful houses. Pair with Murano for an efficient one-day lagoon tour.
