Venice Islands: Boat Tour From Punta Sabbioni

Additional Information & Description

Venice Islands: Boat Tour From Punta Sabbioni takes you onto the lagoon for a guided day trip beyond Venice’s city centre. Sailing between the islands gives the journey its own appeal, with views across the water along the way. The island stops can include Murano, Burano and Torcello, bringing different aspects of Venetian culture into a single day on the lagoon.

Murano’s glassmaking in action

Murano is famous for its glass production, and the visit to a glass factory is included. Watch glassblowers at work rather than seeing only the finished pieces: the craft itself becomes part of your visit. This stop brings you into contact with the artisan tradition behind the island’s glassmaking history, with a direct look at the work that gives Murano its reputation.

Colour and lace on Burano

Burano brings a change of focus. Stroll streets lined with brightly coloured homes and see their colours reflected in the green canal waters. The island is also known for intricate lace, with local shops and museums connecting its streets to a longstanding lace-making heritage. The appeal here lies in both the vivid streetscape and the craft associated with the island.

Torcello’s ancient roots

Torcello turns attention to the early history of Venice, with ancient Roman ruins and the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta among its historical sights. Its peaceful, rural setting gives this island a different character from the craft-focused stops. Lagoon views continue on the cruise back to Venice, extending the visit beyond the time spent ashore.
