Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon, just an hour from Venice. As one of Italy's most beautifully colored villages, Burano draws visitors to wander its streets lined with multi-colored, candy-coated waterfront homes and shops. Rich with history, lace-making is synonymous with the island, a skill that has been taught and passed down here as far back as medieval times. As you explore its colorful streets, you can peek into grey-painted lace-making shops, selling handmade creations crafted by the island's inhabitants. Sample some homemade biscotti and sponge cake at one of the local eateries, or take a boat to explore some of its surrounding islands, including Torcello and Mazzorbo. Enjoy the peace and charm from days gone by and relax in one of Burano's delightful cafes, admiring the views across the pink, blue and green-hued buildings and canals.
