The fairy-tale island in Venice, Italy

Take the first step out of the vaporetto and there they are. The colourful fairy-tale houses of Burano.

Burano - first sight, Venice, Italy

It’s easy to reach the island of Burano by vaporetto. The trip lasts less than an hour (you can stop at Murano to buy some glass jewellery) and the island is quite small so you can visit Murano, Burano and Torcello in one day.

Although colour is not the only characteristic feature of Burano, it was definitely not the famous Burano lace that touched our hearts (although I admit that now I have a nice lace fan in my collection;-))

What is one of the many nice things about Burano is that it is uncomparably less crowded than Venice.
