Isola di Murano Venice 30141 Italy +39 739586 |
This island in the Venetian lagoon is famous for the glassware it produces. Don't miss the opportunity to see glass-blowers at work; it certainly requires extreme skill to take a lump of glass and turn it into glassware. Most glass workshops and factories can be visited free of charge, and more glassware can be admired at the Museo Vetrario, which displays the history of Venetian glass through the course of time. Nearly all the shops on the island cater to the glass trade. Take advantage of the lean crowds during the off-season winter months. To get there via vaporetto, take either line 41, 42 or DM from Fondamente Nuove or 71 & 72 from San Zaccaria or Piazzale Roma. Review © 2007, Wcities |
