You will be fascinated by the colourful houses on this island, all different and super shiny. The colours are due to the fact that the fishermen had to find their homes again when the weather was foggy. So, they decided to paint each house differently. Since the 16th century, the island is famous for the lace art and still today, it is possible to visit the Lace museum (Museo del Merletto).

It’s a collection of seven islands, all linked together by bridges and is 20 minutes away from Burano. This island has been famous for centuries for working with blown glass, this tradition has been handed down from father to son since the 13th century.
