Murano: known for glass
Museu del Vetro: The Glass Factory is open Wednesday through Sunday 10:00 AM through 1:00 PM. Tickets cost €5, and you can make reservations ahead of time here.
One place you shouldn’t miss in Murano is the Church of Santa Maria e San Donato.Apparently, this basilica contains bones of a slain dragon that can be found behind the altar.Myth or truth – I can’t tell because I didn’t even see the bones, unfortunately.What I did see tho was the amazing mosaic pavement leading from the entrance to the altar.Whether there are dragon bones or not, the church is worth a visit simply because of this Byzantine mosaic!
Burano: known for lace
The real and iconic Burano lace can take a long time to make – sometimes even weeks for just a small piece! So it’s no wonder that the beautiful lace is quite pricey and atablecloth can cost €500or even more.A great address for authentic lace is Emilia Burano. Another good shop is the atelier Martina Vidal with three floors of clothing, housewares and gifts.
Some good restaurants in Burano are Trattoria Al Gatto Nero and Ristorante Pizzeria Principe.
Dinner: l'Osteria di Santa Marina @ 21:30
