In this little town located on an island of the Venetian laguna, the houses are painted in varied bright colors, giving a picturesque and cheerful character to the setting, which kids always love. Burano is famous for its lacemaking, a skill that has developed here since the 16th Century; various shops offer lacemaking demonstrations. To admire more of this craft, head to the Museo del Merletto which displays all kinds of amazing lacework: tablecloths, fans, collars and shawls. To get there via vaporetto take line LN from the Fondamente Nove. The trip takes approximately 40-50 minutes and makes one stop on Murano.
