Worth A Visit If Your In Venice
Basilica dei SS Maria e Donato
zadunajska8 Says: The beautiful colonnaded exterior of the apse of this church are the architectural highlight I found most memorable from my brief visit to Murano. The exterior of this church is very attractive, but it's main attractions are those inside. High up in the apse is a 12th...
zadunajska8 Says: Housed in the Palazzo Giustinian on the Fondamenta Giustinian (a short step from the Murano Museo vaporetto stop) is the Glass Museum dedicated to Murano's long-standing connection with glass making. Unfortunately when we visited in February 2012 much of the museum was...
victorwkf Says: When you are in Murano, you should try to visit a glass factory and see how the skilled glass-makers produce the beautiful glass items. One of such a glass factory is the Mazzega Glass Factory, with a selection of some of the best glass makers in Murano (more information is...
AusPinay Says: This is an age-old tradition in this part of Italy and this island is famous for its many glass products- usually jewelries, vaseds, jars, sculptures, lamps, etc.The dedication and creativity are just mind boggling! We watched demo for under an hour and was treated to an...
grandmaR Says: We got to Murano late. They kept the factory open for us though (all those good tourist dollars). They took us into the factory where there was one man (a master) who made a vase while we watched. It was black glass (although we couldn't really see that until the end because...
lina112 Says: Murano is a small island and it´s very easy move in the island. The grand canal divide the island in two, is not bigger than the venezian one but is not crowed of people like the venezian. There are lots of shops and place to have a rest and a drink. Very recomended it is...
lina112 Says: The church dates from century XIV but it was rebuilt in 1511. It´s very well decorated with importants works by Tintoretto and Veronese. There is a very important paint made by Giovanni Bellini and two pieces of the altar. The church is just 200 metres from the vaporeto stop...
lina112 Says: The Museum of Glass is located in the Palazzo Giustinian around the corner from the Museo waterbus stop and near the Basilica of Santa Maria and San Donato. It has samples of glass from Egyptian times through the present day, and the displays show how the art and manufacture...

Al Canton: Lunch by the Basilica
zadunajska8 Says: Al Canton has a great location in Murano right by the Basilica SS Maria e Donato, which is one of the main attractions on the island. Since we were visiting on a very cold (-6C) February day there was no outside seating and nobody would have wanted to sit outside unless they...
Gran Caffé Laguna: Lunch before leaving Murano
lina112 Says: After spending the morning visiting and doing shopping we decided have some lunch before leaving Murano to back to Venice. We arrived to the vaporeto stop (don´t remember the name of the stop), we found this restaurant in piazzale alla colonna where we had a very nice lunch....
zadunajska8 Says: The vaporetto is the way to get to Murano from Venice. It takes just 10 minutes to get from Fte. Nové to Murano Colonna, stopping just at the Cimitero stop on the cemetary island of San Michele. Services 4.1 and 4.2 make this journey and then go around the island stopping at...
Rhondaj Says: You can get there fast or slow:For a leisurely, see the sights from the water ride:Take either number 41 or 42 from the S. Zaccaria stop near St. Mark'sTo get there faster:Take the DM (Direct Murano) from the train station stop (Ferrovia) or from the Piazza Roma
TexasDave Says: The most logical vaporetto stop to use would be Colonna, from which you can walk the entire length of Rio dei Vetral, which is packed with souvenir shops, cafes, etc. If you want to continue on to Burano you have to walk over to the Faro vaporetto stop, on the Eastern edge...
Vetreria Ducale: Glass Shopping in Murrano Italy
MEROSE Says: Extensive selection of goods. Grossly over priced then, all marked down 60%. But watchout because the marked down price is still overpriced. One paperweight was 75 Euro (final price) and could be found in Vencie for 40-45 Euro. Larger items were much more expensive in...
Linea Mazzuccato SRL: l'artigianato fattosi arte
grandmaR Says: After the demonstration, they took us to an area where the very very expensive glass was on display. These were the signed pieces by the Masters. We were not allowed to take any pictures here. Probably the signed pieces by the masters are too expensive. Some of the work...
Linea Mazzuccato: Glass Shop at the Factory
DEBBBEDB Says: I wanted to get something for my mom and dad. I already had bought something for my sister while we were in Barcelona. My grandmother said she would go in with me and the gift would be for my parents birthdays, Christmas and anniversary for this year from both of us. They...
Everywhere in Murano: Murano Glass
lina112 Says: Murano is very well known around the world for its famous glass, there you´ll find tha present that you´re looking for, you can choose between a set of 6 glass or a simple hanging. There are lots of shops in the gran canale and in the small ones around it.Murano es...
Isola di Murano (Entrance Range Rear) Light
grandmaR Says: I am always on the lookout for lighthouses, although I don't always recognize them right away. But there was no doubt that this was one. It was built in 1912. The lighthouse is painted white; near the top there are two black horizontal bars facing the range line. The...
zadunajska8 Says: Despite the bitter cold on the day of our visit to Murano one of the highlights for me was just looking at the buildings and bridges along some of the canals. The pictures here are of some of those which I saw on the stretch from vaporetto stop Murano Colonna to Ponte...
zadunajska8 Says: The Canal di Murano is Murano's answer to Venice's Grand Canal. It's a much quieter and more modest place but still very charming with many restaurants lining the pavements on either side. As we were visiting on a Saturday afternoon in February many of these were closed but...
